The Technical Experiment As developers, we often debate AI's impact on our profession in abstract terms. Will GitHub Copilot replace us? Is ChatGPT making juniors obsolete?

If you’ve dipped your toes into web development—frontend or backend—there’s a high chance you’ve come across localhost:3000. It’s more than just a port number. It’s the go-to space where development begins, debug logs unfold, and early-stage applications first breathe life. In this blog, we’ll explore why localhost:3000 became a standard, the tools that rely on it, how to troubleshoot it, and how to access it remotely when you're not on the same network. When developers run a local server, it typically listens to requests made to IP address 127.0.0.1, which maps to localhost—your computer. The number 3000 designates the port on which that server accepts connections. So when you visit http://localhost:3000, your browser is reaching out to a web application running on your machine, through p…  ( 8 min )

Unlocking the Power of Edge AI: A New Era for Mobile Applications In today's fast-paced digital world, mobile applications are the lifeblood of our daily interactions, connecting us to everything from social networks to smart homes. Users demand lightning-fast performance, seamless experiences, and, perhaps most critically, ironclad privacy. Meeting these expectations has traditionally relied heavily on cloud computing, where data travels to distant servers for processing before returning to your device. However, this centralized approach often introduces latency, bandwidth strain, and significant privacy concerns. Enter Edge AI. This groundbreaking paradigm shifts artificial intelligence processing from the distant cloud to the "edge" of the network – meaning directly on your mobile dev…  ( 10 min )

Hey developers! 👋 So I was grabbing coffee yesterday (my 4th cup, don't judge) and scrolling through tech Twitter when I realized something - everyone's talking about the "next big thing" but half of it is just recycled hype from 2019. As someone who's been building stuff on the web since jQuery was considered modern (ouch, I know), I wanted to share the trends I'm actually seeing in real projects, not just conference slides. These aren't just buzzwords - they're things that are genuinely changing how I write code and ship products. Look, I was skeptical about AI coding tools for the longest time. Felt like cheating, you know? But after using GitHub Copilot for six months, I'm not going back to writing boilerplate from scratch like some kind of masochist.

A few years ago, I was working with a mid-sized e-commerce brand that prided itself on sleek design and user experience. Their website looked flawless on the surface-modern, fast, mobile-friendly. But after one complaint from a visually impaired customer about being unable to navigate the checkout process, everything shifted. They had never even considered accessibility. I’ve been there-on the other side of a user report, scrambling to understand WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), trying to comb through code, running manual checks, and realizing just how many barriers exist for millions of users.

Introduction Significant change is taking place in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, sparking contentious debates on sites like Reddit and Twitter. It appears that the term “vibe coding”, which refers to a relaxed, frequently unstructured method of using AI agents to generate code, is coming to an end. A usage-based, cost-conscious model is quickly replacing what began as an “all-you-can-eat” buffet for developers and aspiring programmers. This shift represents a fundamental reassessment of how AI should support the software development ecosystem, not merely a change in price. With a valuation of $9.9 billion and a reputation as a “poster child” for AI startups, companies such as Cursor quickly rose to prominence and are now among the fastest-growing AI startups.

When I first started writing about tech, Dev.to felt like the right place to be. It was welcoming, developer-friendly, and had a vibrant community. For a long time, it gave me everything I needed to begin: a platform to share, to learn, and to be seen. But over time, as I started thinking more seriously about what I’m building—not just as a developer, but as a creator—I realized I needed something more. Something that felt like home, not just a guest room in someone else’s house. That’s when I started exploring Hashnode. And I’m moving. Here’s why.

Todays article will be a bit different as it will not be purely technical but rather motivational one. I was inspired by it after seeing a following meme on X. It will be about my thoughts on Open Source after doing it for a few years now and how we can all benefit from it. Enjoy! The problem is that we all use Open Source in one way or another but we usually do not give enough credit to people who are maintaining it. We use OS tools either directly - by installing an UI library in our web development project to accelerate development of our new website - or as a dependency for other projects - in this case, we usually are not even aware what packages we are using (good luck scanning full lock.json file :D) In some cases, maintainers are not getting anything for their work apart from ba…  ( 7 min )

One thing that hits you fast when you're building anything beyond to-do apps is this: testing matters. That “everything works on my machine” feeling? Doesn’t mean a thing in production. But here's the thing... testing real dependencies in every test? That’s a pain. Slow tests. External services failing. APIs rate-limiting you. And now your tests are flaky, annoying, and worst of all, unreliable.

Yesterday I was polishing a Dev.to draft when I spotted something truly bizarre in my Markdown: text The “Filter” Nobody Told Me About What I saw: A raw tag instead of a footnote link. What’s actually happening: A Markdown–HTML filter is supposed to replace these with tidy [1] footnotes… but mine slipped through before that step ran. How I Uncovered It Step 2: Hit “Preview” and spotted the odd :contentReference[…] tag in the live render. Step 3: Traced it to the AI’s citation system—basically a “belt-and-suspenders” audit tool that never meant to show end readers this raw syntax. Why You Should Care Hidden metadata risks. If left unfiltered, you might accidentally expose internal tooling details—or worse, break your own Markdown. Conspiracy fuel? It’s tempting to say “they” are spying on your clipboard. But the real culprit is just a busted filter. TL;DR It exists for audit purposes and should have been auto-removed. If you see it too, add a quick find-and-replace, or fix your rendering pipeline!  ( 6 min )

Currently, if you want to vibe code on your phone, one solution is to use something like VibeTunnel to connect to a terminal-based tool like ClaudeCode or similar. However, typing on a phone is inconvenient, and viewing diffs is not very user-friendly either. I’ve developed a Vibe Coding Telegram bot that allows seamless interaction with ClaudeCode directly within Telegram. I’ve implemented numerous optimizations—such as diff display, permission control, and more—to make using ClaudeCode in Telegram extremely convenient. I think these two features significantly improve the mobile experience: The bot currently supports Telegram’s polling mode, so you can easily create and run your own bot locally on your computer, without needing a public IP or cloud server. For now, you can only deploy and experience the bot on your own. In the future, I plan to develop a virtual machine feature and provide a public bot for everyone to use. chatcode  ( 5 min )

It’s not trying to be Ethereum 2.0 or Solana’s cheaper cousin. It’s doing something… sneakier. And if you’re not paying attention, you’ll wake up one day and realize it’s been ahead the whole time.

前言 有过 GIS 相关开发工作的朋友都知道，GDAL 是 GIS 图形处理最强大的工具，对于 native 客户端和服务端的开发者来说非常友好，提供了适用于多种 CPU 和操作系统的可执行文件和 lib 文件，只要开发者使用的不是小众平台，都能轻松方便地获取。但对于 GDAL 来讲， Web 就是一个小众平台，并没有提供这个平台的任何支持。所以一般地， WebGIS 软件都会将 GDAL 相关服务部署到服务端，客户端通过 HTTP 请求的方式调用。这个方案有一些不足： 通过网络请求调用增加了应用的响应时间，无法实现实时应用 浪费客户端的算力，增加了服务端成本 所以 WebGIS 用到 GDAL 相关的功能时，总是给用户缓慢、卡顿的感觉。 使用 emscripten + WebAssembly 让 GDAL 应用与 web 应用成为可能：GDAL 是一个 C/C++ 项目，emscripten 是一个用于 WebAssembly 的 C/C++ 编译工具，或许能够使用 emscripten 将 GDAL 编译成 JavaScript 可以调用的形式，从而将这个工具移植到 WebGIS 应用中。 对于习惯于编写 JavaScript 的前端开发者来说，如何开始使用 emscripten 就是一个不小的问题。和大多数开源项目一样，emscripten 也是从源码编译开始。这里不大篇幅赘述安装过程，详细请查看 emsdk 文档。如果安装总是不成功，或者懒得安装，也可以使用 emsdk 的 Docker 镜像。 安装好并验证成功之后，就可以开始尝试使用 emscripten 进行编译了。这里举一个简单的例子： // hello_world.c #include int main() { printf("hello, world!\n"); …  ( 6 min )

🧩 Introduction When we talk about Kubernetes security, most developers think of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) or Network Policies. But before these higher-level controls come into play, there's a foundational layer that silently ensures every component in the cluster is speaking to a trusted source — mutual TLS (mTLS). In a self-managed Kubernetes cluster, unlike cloud-managed solutions like EKS or GKE, you're responsible for configuring, maintaining, and rotating these certificates. Understanding how mTLS works—and knowing where each certificate lives—gives you deeper visibility into the cluster's internal trust system and can help you troubleshoot or harden your deployment. This post will walk you through: What mTLS means in the Kubernetes control plane Which components use certifi…  ( 8 min )

The application may work based on different databases. Databases use similar SQL syntax, but they offer different implementations. As a result, SQL statements need to be modified, only manually. This involves a huge amount of work and becomes error-prone. Completely automated modifications are nearly impossible. After all, different databases probably offer different functionalities. But an examination shows that most obstacles result from the different syntax of SQL functions. The date and string-related functions, in particular, do not have an industry standard. Different database products have different implementations. To transform string "2020-02-05" to date data, for example, they offer different syntax.

STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — is changing the world we live in. From building apps and curing diseases to solving climate issues and sending rockets into space, STEM is where the future is being shaped. But here’s the thing: women are still hugely underrepresented in these fields. So, what’s holding us back? And more importantly, what can we do about it? Let’s Start with the Facts In areas like AI, cybersecurity, and system design, the number of women is even lower — sometimes under 15%. Many girls lose interest in STEM subjects by the time they reach high school, often because they don’t see enough role models who look like them or because they’re told — subtly or directly — that it’s “not for them.” This gender gap isn't just a diversity problem — it's a missed oppo…  ( 7 min )

Meaning Domain Control Validation (DCV) is a process used by Certificate Authorities (CAs) to verify that the applicant for an SSL/TLS certificate is authorized to use the domain for which the certificate is requested. In essence, it's a way for CAs to confirm you own or control the domain before issuing a certificate. This ensures that the certificate, and the secure connection it enables, are issued to the rightful owner of the domain. Benefits Blocks Unauthorized Certificate Issuance It is one of the biggest threats in cybersecurity situations that might involve attackers seeking and acquiring an SSL/TLS certificate corresponding to a domain they do not own. Once a cybercriminal acquires and becomes a trusted level with a certificate associated with a domain, a convincing phishing websi…  ( 6 min )

Reactive Programming with RxJS: A Deep Dive Introduction Reactive Programming (RP) is a declarative programming paradigm focused on data streams and the propagation of change. Think of it as an asynchronous dataflow where changes are automatically propagated through the system. Imagine a spreadsheet: when you change a cell's value, all other cells that depend on it automatically update. Reactive Programming aims to achieve this dynamism and responsiveness in software development. RxJS (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript) is a library that brings the principles of Reactive Programming to JavaScript. It provides a powerful set of tools for working with asynchronous data streams, events, and interactions, making it a cornerstone for modern web and application development. By using RxJS, dev…  ( 8 min )

I had a need to mirror my Android screen to my computer, and I found a really convenient way to do it — using Wireless Display, a built-in feature included for free in Windows. This method allows you to share your mobile screen with your PC without using any third-party apps. Miracast is a wireless technology that allows you to transmit both video and audio from one device to another via Wi-Fi Direct — no HDMI cables or additional apps required. Often referred to as “wireless HDMI”, Miracast supports high-resolution streaming, including 1080p and even 4K, depending on your hardware capabilities. 1. 🟠 Wi-Fi Direct (P2P / Ad-hoc) No router or access point (AP) is required Temporarily disconnects the phone from its current Wi-Fi This is the classic Miracast mode (defined by the Wi-Fi Allian…  ( 10 min )

Cuzzy, let's be real - every time people start shouting about AGI like it's some second coming, I just smile.

So you're building something cool and need to choose between AWS Lambda and Cloudflare Workers? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (and probably a few sleepless nights debugging cold starts). Let me save you some time and share what I've learned from wrestling with both platforms in production. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's talk about what makes these platforms fundamentally different. It's not just about branding or pricing—we're looking at two completely different approaches to running code in the cloud. AWS Lambda is like having a really smart building manager. When someone needs an apartment (your function), they either give you an existing one that's ready to go, or they go build a new one from scratch. This can take anywhere from milliseconds to several seconds, dep…  ( 8 min )

API security testing is the process of evaluating the defenses of APIs to ensure they are resistant to vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. It is also now a major part of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), where developers even test the API before they are deployed. Businesses hire cybersecurity companies to perform API security testing to find vulnerabilities or weak points through which attackers can infiltrate the system. As a result, you can know where the security flaws lie and take the necessary steps to fix them. Importance of API Security Testing for Companies The fast growth of digital changes and the widespread use of APIs have led to a new era where systems and services are more connected. However, relying more on APIs also brings new security challenges. Integratio…  ( 7 min )

Welcome to Day 24! Today I explored how to choose between using loops or iterators in Rust and why iterators are preferred in most idiomatic code. I also learned about zero-cost abstractions, an important concept in systems programming that Rust excels at. At first glance, using a traditional for loop might feel more intuitive, especially if you’re coming from C-style or JavaScript programming. But Rust encourages using iterators for a cleaner and more expressive approach. Focus on what needs to be done, not how. Cleaner and more declarative. Less boilerplate. Easier to reason about complex chains of operations. Iterators abstract away common loop mechanics and let you concentrate on the filtering, mapping, and reducing logic. Think of iterators as the Rusty version of chaining methods in …  ( 6 min )

If you think Agile is all about stand-ups and sprints… you're only scratching the surface. Agile methodology that’s laser-focused on writing better code, faster — and it's not Scrum.

Let’s dive deep into how XP can upgrade your development mindset — and help you ship better software without burning out. XP is an Agile framework that focuses on improving software quality and responsiveness through frequent releases in short development cycles, which improves productivity and introduces checkpoints at which new customer requirements can be adopted. It was created by Kent Beck in the late '90s, and while many developers know the na…  ( 7 min )

As a long-time Ubuntu user—from 18.04 to 24.04—I’ve always appreciated the system’s stability. However, when it comes to package management, things can become a bit frustrating. For non-repo apps, I often fall back on Flatpak. It has a solid ecosystem, but let’s be honest: it’s heavy, slow to launch, and not exactly snappy for lightweight tools. So recently, I’ve been on the lookout for alternatives. When deepin 25 launched, I noticed they introduced a new package manager called Linyaps. Having been a deepin 15 user in the past, I decided to give it a shot. Installation: Surprisingly Simple Linyaps Website echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://ci.deepin.com/repo/obs/linglong:/CI:/release/xUbuntu_24.04/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linglong.list After installation, I tried a few basic apps. The command-line tool ll-cli works similarly to apt, perfect for terminal-savvy users. Linyaps App Store It can also download the app store client. Uninstalling or updating apps can only be done through this client, though. That said, it only seems to have a Chinese interface so far – I couldn’t find an option to switch to English. Maybe that’s still in the works; hope they iron that out soon. Real-World Experience Even after just a few hours of use, Linyaps runs surprisingly smoothly on Ubuntu 24.04. It feels faster than Flatpak and hasn’t shown any compatibility issues so far. Sure, it doesn’t have the massive ecosystem Snap/Flatpak has yet, but for daily use? Definitely worth trying.

I've recently started writing about how I'm building PocketBase.Net in the Building PocketBase.Net Step by Step series. However, I haven't had the opportunity to go over what was already in place. In particular, having a robust testing suite with both unit and integration tests was a very important point for me, as the library could potentially be used by others to manage their data, which is often the most critical part of applications. In this article, I will explain how I set up a working testing environment for my integration tests, using a dockerized PocketBase instance with TestContainers.

Your company just ordered a batch of new laptops, but when they arrive, some of them are different models from those expected. IT updates the inventory, but the records are inconsistent. Some assets are listed by brand name, others by serial number, and a few have no details at all. When audit time comes, everything turns into a scramble. This situation is more common than most businesses realize. With so many devices, applications, and licenses to manage, things can get messy fast if there’s no clear structure in place.

Word Embeddings An assignment of words to numbers is called a word embedding. Consider an example, suppose we have a 2D plane and at multiple coordinates we have some labels like apple, banana, mango are near to each others coordinates, similarly carrot, radish and potato are near each other, and laptop, mobile, TV are far from the vegetables coordinate and fruit coordinate also. Now if we have to place "orange" then think around which coordinates it should be place? It should be placed with fruits, near banana, mango and apple. Words that are similar should correspond to points that are close by. Words that are different should correspond to points that are far away. There is something more to these word embeddings, and it is that they don’t only capture word similarity, but they also c…  ( 8 min )

A backlink is a link created when one website links to another. Backlinks are important for both helping people discover your website and improving your ranking on search engines like Google. Think of backlinks as trust signals or votes of confidence from other websites. The more high-quality backlinks your website has, the more likely it is to rank higher in search results. For example, imagine you run an online bookstore. If a popular blog about reading links to one of your pages, that link becomes a backlink for your site. It not only brings more readers to your store but also tells search engines that your website is credible and valuable.

I originally posted this post on my blog. Pierre started coding back in the 60s and still maintains a 30-year-old codebase. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, and to one of my posts going viral, I've exchanged a couple of emails with Pierre. I don't know him in real life, just on the Internet. His story has captivated me from the beginning. I know only about a few industry veterans, and even fewer who are still actively coding. Since the 60s, Pierre has gone through every boom and hype in this industry. He witnessed the Y2K panic, the birth of Java, the rise of Agile, and probably more that I don't remember now. In one of our emails, I asked Pierre about his take on AI. Today, we only see headlines of CEOs claiming AI generates most of their code, along with headlines saying coders are doomed. But, here's what Pierre, with his wealth of experience, told me about AI (slightly edited for brevity): I'm skeptical about AI. I just don't see automatically generating code from typical imprecise specifications...Apparently we've run out of Internet on which to train AI. It is now feeding on its own hallucinations, like mad cows eating their own prion-riddled offal, or the inbred Hapsburg dynasty. If Pierre, who has seen quite a lot, is skeptical, we shouldn't be worried. I'm not. Pierre reminded me of that joke/meme that we're still safe because AI needs unambiguous and well-written requirements. As long as clients who don't know what they want exist, we're still in business. I don't think AI is taking our jobs anytime soon. Sure, we have to adapt. AI is changing the landscape. For sure, coding in 2034 will look different. Coding today doesn't look the same as coding back in the 70s. We can't ignore AI. AI is like using calculators in math classes. They make us faster, sure, but they can't do the thinking for us.

Middleware manages requests and responses in a modular, pipeline-based manner. It processes HTTP requests and can execute actions before forwarding the request to the next middleware or returning a response to the client. How Middleware Works? This diagram illustrates how middleware operates in an .NET Core application pipeline. Let’s break down each component: HTTP Request: An incoming HTTP request enters the application and moves through each middleware in the pipeline’s defined order. Middleware 1, Middleware 2, and Middleware 3: These are various middleware components, each executing specific logic as the request progresses through the pipeline. Logic Before: Each middleware has a “Logic Before” section to perform actions or checks before passing the request further. Tasks may inclu…  ( 8 min )

Mastering the Viewport: An Intro to CSS Media Queries When we create a website, we want it to look good on every device, from a large desktop monitor to a small smartphone screen. This is the core principle of responsive web design, and the key tool for achieving it is the CSS media query. A media query allows us to apply specific styles only when certain conditions are met, such as the screen width. This means we can serve a different, optimized layout to a user on a mobile device without building a completely separate website. It's how a website can "respond" to its environment. Let's look at a simple example. We'll start with a basic layout that works on desktop, and then use a media query to change it for mobile. Our Default (Desktop) Layout /* Styles for screens larger than 768px (the default) */ .container { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; padding: 20px; background-color: #f0f0f0; } .box { width: 30%; padding: 20px; background-color: #007bff; color: white; text-align: center; border-radius: 8px; } This CSS creates a horizontal row of three boxes, perfect for a desktop screen. The Mobile View: Using a Media Query @media (max-width: 768px) { .container { flex-direction: column; /* Stack the boxes vertically */ align-items: center; /* Center the stacked boxes */ } .box { width: 90%; /* Make the boxes wider to fill the screen */ margin-bottom: 15px; /* Add some space between them */ } } This code tells the browser: "When the screen is 768 pixels wide or less, apply these new styles." The flex-direction: column property is the magic that changes our layout from a row to a stack, and we adjust the box width and margin to make it look great on a phone. By using media queries, you can ensure your web applications are not only functional but also provide a great user experience, no matter how a user is viewing them. It's a fundamental step in building modern, accessible websites.  ( 6 min )

This article was originally written and published on Medium on April 10, 2022. I'm migrating some of my favorite posts to dev.to to begin posting new content again. While developing in PHP and Node/React in the past I often dreamily wished I was able to see the servers log output in the browser or JavaScript console. As a newcomer to C#, Blazor and ASP.NET Core I have set myself the goal of familiarising myself with the stack by building a small prototype/feature each week and formalising that knowledge by doing a quick write up in a blog. Yesterday I was hooking up NLog in Blazor and wondering what I should build for my first post and the idea to see if I could make good on my dream of getting server log output into the browser came back to me. “JUST DO IT” We will walk through one appro…  ( 14 min )

What is JavaScript? JavaScript is a high-level,dynamic and interpreted programming language used to make websites interactive. we can use it to control anything like data validation, button functionality,animation updates and more. Every value in JavaScript has a specific type. This type determines what operations can be performed on the value and how it is stored. There are 8 basic data types in JavaScript String Number Bigint Boolean Undefined Null Symbol Object In a programming language, variables are used to store data values. JavaScript uses the keywords var,let and const to declare variables. Only use var if you MUST support old browsers. use let when reassignment is needed Always use const if the value should not be changed Arithmetic Operators Assignment Operators Comparison Operators String Operators Logical Operators Bitwise Operators Ternary Operators Type Operators let str1 = "Hello"; let str2 = "World"; let result = str1 + str2; console.log(result);  ( 5 min )

This document explores the limitations of using useEffect and useState for data fetching in React applications and introduces React Query as a superior alternative. It highlights the benefits of React Query, such as automatic caching, refetching on focus, built-in loading/error states, and smart syncing, which significantly reduce boilerplate code and improve the overall development experience. The document aims to encourage developers to consider React Query for more efficient and maintainable data management in their React projects. The useEffect + useState Struggle For a long time, the go-to pattern for fetching data in React involved a combination of useEffect and useState. It looked something like this: import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; function MyComponent() { co…  ( 7 min )

Problem You need to validate incoming JSON data in POST requests to ensure required fields exist, have correct types, and meet specific criteria before processing. const express = require('express'); const { body, validationResult } = require('express-validator'); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); // Validation middleware const validateUser = [ body('email') .isEmail() .withMessage('Must be a valid email') .normalizeEmail(), body('password') .isLength({ min: 6 }) .withMessage('Password must be at least 6 characters'), body('age') .isInt({ min: 18, max: 100 }) .withMessage('Age must be between 18 and 100') ]; // Route with validation app.post('/api/users', validateUser, (req, res) => { // Check for validation errors const errors = validationResult(req); if (!errors.isEmpty()) { return res.status(400).json({ success: false, errors: errors.array() }); } // Process valid data const { email, password, age } = req.body; res.json({ success: true, message: 'User created successfully', user: { email, age } }); }); app.listen(3000, () => { console.log('Server running on port 3000'); }); Install express-validator: npm install express-validator express-validator provides middleware functions that validate request data. Each body() call validates a specific field with built-in validators like isEmail(), isLength(), and isInt(). validationResult(req) collects all validation errors. If errors exist, return a 400 status with error details. The validation runs before your route handler, so you always receive clean, validated data when validation passes.  ( 5 min )

I've been developing software for almost 3 decades, and I've lost count of how many brilliant ideas vanished between conception and keyboard.

Basic knowledge of programming (logic, etc); C syntax, allocating variables; Memory management in C: pointers, malloc, calloc, realloc, free; An array that can grow or shrink in size during runtime. Unlike static arrays, which have a fixed size, dynamic arrays automatically resize as elements are added or removed. Is it a good idea to start an array with a small size and then realloc it? It depends. If the current memory block can't be extended contiguously, realloc will allocate a new block and copy all n items. Which results in O(n) operation and can cause an overhead.

I'm now writing something about my feeling of posting article on DEV. I have read many of this before, it inspired me to share about my feelings to us. As a beginner, I know that sometimes I don't have many ideas to write about. When I read others word, I can always learn a lot. They tell you the knowledge of programming, but after reading, it is also difficult for me to write something. I just shared one of my projects, it's a simple algorithm. I knew that I don't have many projects to share, maybe sharing some of my feeling, but most of the time I don't know how to write it in words. Some of the feeling can't tell others through words, maybe many of us feel the same, just lack of communication. I just want to write perfect articles, for me, and for everyone. I have been programing for some years, but as a student, I don't have many times to do this. Although I have continue doing this for about 6 years, I'm just a beginner. Programming is not strange to me, but my first article was written in last month. It was my first time to write about my work. I just want to record myself. Although it hasn't been shown to many of others, it is also important to me. It my first post, the first time I try to write something. I'm not perfect in writing articles, but what I need to do is, thinking more, and writing more. Writing needs time and effort, when I write this, I need to think about how to organize my word, how to swich the programming language to natural language. Not just copying and pasting the code, nobody likes it. I want to talk more, but I'm just lack communication. I want to tell many things. I want to talk about my feeling of programing, even how I started writing my first "hello world". It's a long story, just to share it in the future.  ( 6 min )

Introduction: The White Lie Inside Your Computer Look at your computer's system information. If you have a modern processor, you will likely see a number of "processors" or "threads" that is double the number of actual, physical cores inside your CPU. An 8-core processor might report that it has 16 logical processors. A 12-core chip might appear as a 24-threaded behemoth. This isn't a bug. It's a deliberate and calculated deception—a clever white lie told by the hardware to the operating system. This phenomenon, known generically as Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) and most famously by Intel's trademark, Hyper-Threading, is one of the most successful performance-enhancing technologies in modern computing. It is a trick designed to solve a fundamental problem of efficiency: the fact that…  ( 13 min )

Introduction: The Paradox of Added Complexity It sounds like a recipe for inefficiency: the instructions your software painstakingly sends to a processor are not the instructions that the processor actually executes. Instead of acting on them directly, a modern Central Processing Unit (CPU) subjects these commands to a complex, energy-intensive process of translation and decomposition. It's as if you gave a builder a detailed blueprint, only for them to redraw it into a completely different set of plans before picking up a single tool. Why would hardware designers introduce this seemingly redundant layer of complexity? Why not build a processor that simply does what it's told, one instruction at a time?

Git Branching Branching is a fundamental concept in Git that allows you to work on new features or fixes independently from the main codebase. Each project starts with a default branch (usually main or master), and you can create as many additional branches as needed. Once your work is ready, you can merge your branch into another using a pull request. Branches help you safely test changes, build features, and fix issues without disrupting the main project. Git Reset vs Revert Both git reset and git revert help you undo changes in your code, but they serve different purposes: git reset moves the pointer of your branch to a previous state and can modify your commit history (best used in local branches). git revert creates a new commit that undoes the changes from a previous commit, pres…  ( 7 min )

Computer science is a huge field, spanning web dev, systems engineering, AI, and more. It’s super easy to dive into high-level stuff like building apps or websites with modern tools and frameworks. But that ease means a lot of people skip the low-level basics. How computers actually work, how code becomes machine instructions, or what’s happening in the hardware. Knowing this stuff, like memory management or how the CPU and OS interact, gives you a deeper edge. You’re not just coding—you understand why things work or break. The industry pushes quick results, and focus on job-ready skills, so the low-level foundations often get ignored. But grasping what we are doing is what makes us a better developer. Your enthusiasm for relearning computer science as a self-taught enthusiast is infectious! Diving deep into the world of computer science is thrilling, but the complexity of how computers work can feel daunting. So, how do we tackle this? How do we unravel the intricate layers of a computer’s inner workings and build a solid understanding from the ground up? But common we are devs; we work with complex systems everyday. Alright, so how are we going to do this? The answer has been right in front of us all along: books. There are countless books we could follow, but I’m going to focus on the one i am reading. "The Elements of Computing Systems" - Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken. It is a fantastic resource I discovered while browsing the internet. tackling every problem from the ground up in a beautifully clear and engaging way.

So I bolted a Go backend onto QEMU’s own QAPI generator, and now every VM call is type-safe, fully async, and always in sync with upstream. ➡️ Check out the project on GitHub QEMU already ships a rich JSON interface (QAPI), yet Go developers still end up: Writing raw JSON by hand – easy to mistype, hard to test. Chasing partial wrappers – most cover only “common” commands. Fixing silent schema drift. Fully typed bindings for every command, struct, and enum in qapi-schema.json. Async events & requests via goroutines and channels—no polling loops. Transport helpers for QMP, QGA, serial pipes, TCP, stdio… the lot. Schema-sync guarantee – regenerate on eac…  ( 6 min )

Conheça o "GIL" O GIL e o futuro - agora presente no Python-3.13 em diante. O Python Global Interpreter Lock (GIL)[^GIL] é um mecanismo de sincronização que permite que apenas uma thread execute código Python por vez em um processo.

If you've been building with LLMs for a while, you've probably experienced that moment when the model feels like it's more of a hindrance than a help. Worsening quality of answers, constant reminders to start a new chat window, and constraints that continually get forgotten. These are all symptoms of what happens when the models context starts to get too polluted. When building ai agents these problems can be the difference between having a reliable production ready agent and having a system that works great in your local tests but breaks in production. To bridge this gap and have a consistently reliable agentic system, you need to know how to effectively manage context. This is where context engineering comes into play and is essential for reliable agent building at scale. Before we dive …  ( 9 min )

LeetCode 1: Two Sum Problem: Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice. You can return the answer in any order. public int[] TwoSum(int[] numbers, int targetSum) { var numberToIndex = new Dictionary(); for (int currentIndex = 0; currentIndex < numbers.Length; currentIndex++) { int currentNumber = numbers[currentIndex]; int requiredNumber = targetSum - currentNumber; if (numberToIndex.ContainsKey(requiredNumber)) { return new int[] { numberToIndex[requiredNumber], currentIndex }; } if (!numberToIndex.ContainsKey(currentNumber)) { numberToIndex[currentNumber] = currentIndex; } } throw new InvalidOperationException("No solution exists for the given input."); } Instead of checking every pair with a nested loop, we can use a dictionary to remember the numbers we’ve seen as we scan the array, storing the value and its index. We loop through each number, and subtract it from the target. If the result exists in the Dictionary, we know we've found our two numbers and can return the indexes of these numbers. But wait how does result = target - currentNumber give us the two numbers? Well, because if we can't find a match we still add the currentNumber to the Dictionary, so we keep a record we've seen that number somewhere in the array. Target is 20; result = 20 - 7 = 13 index of 13 and index of currentNumber and Bingo we have our two numbers. Well, simply because all paths in a code base need to return a result. However, instead of returning [0,0] which is wrong, we throw an exception to show we've handled all paths, but wasn't a valid outcome.  ( 6 min )

Java Records, finalized in Java 17, provide a concise way to create immutable data carriers. But what happens when your clean Record needs to validate its data? Suddenly, that elegant one-liner becomes a validation challenge. Let me show you three approaches to Record validation I've encountered in production code, and why I ended up building a new solution. Consider this simple user registration scenario: public record User(String name, String email, int age) {} Clean, right? But in production, you need validation: Name: 2-50 characters, not null or empty Email: valid format, not null Age: 0-120, reasonable range Suddenly, your elegant Record isn't so simple anymore. The most straightforward approach is manual validation in the compact constructor: public record User(String name, String …  ( 8 min )

Apple’s product pages are great examples of clean design, subtle animation, and precise typography. Inspired by this, I set myself a challenge: could I recreate the AirTag landing page and present the process in under ten minutes? The result is a pixel‑perfect build using React (Vite) and Tailwind CSS, documented in an eight‑minute speed‑run video. The official AirTag page opens with the tagline “Lose your knack for losing things” and uses simple sections like: “Ping it. Find it.” “Precision Finding” “Get by with a little help” (apple.com/airtag) These elements make it a great UI challenge—minimal content but high polish. Scaffolding – Bootstrapped a Vite + React + TypeScript project and added Tailwind CSS. Figma – Created a layout in Figma inspired by Apple’s page and exported the assets. The Figma file is included in the repo’s figma folder. Components – Each section (hero, feature cards, CTA) is a separate React component. Tailwind utility classes handle spacing, and typography. Speed‑run video – I recorded the build process and condensed it into a fast-paced video that runs just over eight minutes. 🎬 Watch the 8‑minute build video 💻 Browse the code on GitHub Utility‑first styling speeds things up – Tailwind let me prototype quickly without leaving the markup. Figma is a great source of truth – Having a pixel‑perfect reference meant less guesswork. Feedback is invaluable – I’m eager to hear from other front‑end devs—how would you enhance this? Maybe add animations Improve accessibility Refactor the component structure? Feel free to share feedback in the comments or submit pull requests!  ( 6 min )

RuneScape has been around for over twenty years but the private server community is still growing. In fact it feels more active now than ever before. Private servers or RSPS let players enjoy the game in new ways. Some servers offer faster leveling. Others have custom bosses or completely different content. What used to be small projects with bugs and missing features have become stable games with big player bases. So what is driving this growth One reason is better tools. Developers now have access to more open source server files and better client emulators. Setting up a server used to take weeks. Now it can be done in a day. Some developers have even added their own systems like raids or skill trees from scratch. Another big reason is mobile gaming. More people are playing games on their phones so RSPS owners are starting to think about mobile support. A few servers already run well on Android and more are working toward that. AI tools have helped too. Some RSPS developers use AI to help write quests or fix bugs faster. This saves time and keeps players engaged with fresh content. Promotion is also easier now. There are websites that list and rank servers so players can find active ones quickly. One of the most updated sites is rsps100.com where you can browse top servers by votes or activity. If you are a developer or even just curious about game design RSPS is a great space to explore. You can learn about multiplayer systems economy balancing and player feedback all in a live environment. Private servers are not just copies of the original game anymore. They are creative projects shaped by both nostalgia and modern tools. And they are not slowing down anytime soon.  ( 6 min )

The usage is limited to 3 videos per day and also the video that can be generated is 8 seconds. Though the numbers are very small, it can be fun to experiment with it. Here are some of the prompts that I tried with this video generation: For the initial attempt, I went with one of the traditional concepts using a cat and it was good. A kitten playing guitar in a street For the next one, I tried to get a video of screen recording/sharing of a code editor with some Python code. Even though the specifications are mentioned in the prompt, the video that was generated by the model wasn’t very accurate with respect to the specifics. A screenshare video (macOS — Visual Studio Code Editor) of typing a Python code (code for factorial of a number) without any audio It was able to create the title for the video very specific to my description in the prompt but not the video :) The above examples are with the mode of Text-to-Video. Additionally, you can try to create a video with an image input (something like Image-Text-to-Video) with the prompt to the model. This is still limited to the 8-seconds video length restriction. This video generation model can also be accessed via Gemini API on a paid-preview basis (more details on the official documentation page). Try out some of your own prompts and play with the model.

The Temptation You’re building a dashboard and need a profile card for the logged-in user. function Dashboard({ user }) { function ProfileCard() { return ( {user.name} {user.role} Dashboard ); } It works. The UI renders. You move on. 🚀 Every time Dashboard re-renders, whether because user changes or some unrelated state updates, React recreates the ProfileCard function. That one fact breaks React’s reconciliation process and can lead to: State loss inside ProfileCard Extra unmount/mount cycles Wasted DOM operations Reconciliation is how React updates the UI without throwing everything away. Steps simplified: Build a new virt…  ( 7 min )

As organizations adopt microservices architecture and Kubernetes for deploying containerized applications, one critical question arises: “How do external users securely access my services running inside the Kubernetes cluster?” By default, Kubernetes provides service types like ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer to expose applications. However: ClusterIP only allows internal access. NodePort exposes your app on every node's IP and a static port — not ideal for production. LoadBalancer provisions a cloud provider load balancer — but one per service, which is expensive and harder to manage at scale. Imagine a production app with: A frontend UI service A backend API service An admin dashboard A metrics endpoint If you use LoadBalancer for each, you’ll quickly rack up cloud costs and lose c…  ( 8 min )

Language models have become surprisingly capable at many tasks, from writing code to answering complex questions. But there's a troubling phenomenon lurking beneath their impressive performance: hallucinations. These aren't the mysterious visions of science fiction, but something far more mundane yet equally concerning—AI systems confidently generating information that simply isn't true. At its core, an LLM hallucination occurs when a model generates content that sounds plausible and coherent but is factually incorrect, nonsensical, or completely fabricated. Think of it as the AI equivalent of someone confidently telling you that Napoleon won the Battle of Waterloo or that there are 14 months in a year. The information flows smoothly and convincingly, but it's fundamentally wrong. The phen…  ( 9 min )

Most people understand the basics of what git is. add, commit -m "please work", push. Well, having this for a git workflow makes it feel like a burden more than a tool. Lemme expand your mind a little bit. Imagine your code like a story one you're telling to your future self or another developer joining you. Every commit is a chapter, every branch is a plot thread, and every merge is where storylines converge. When viewed this way, Git transforms from a mundane version control system into a powerful narrative tool that makes your development journey coherent, traceable, and beautiful. A well-crafted commit message is like a good book title it tells you exactly what to expect inside. Instead of cryptic messages like "fix stuff" or "updates," consider commits as documentation of your thought…  ( 8 min )

⚠️ This article was translated by AI. Click here to read the original version in Portuguese. In large-scale system development, the quantity and complexity of microservices can become a formidable enemy. After facing this enemy multiple times, I refined a set of architectural patterns. These patterns are the foundation of an approach I call Gateway-Oriented Architecture (GOA). GOA doesn't propose new components, but rather the disciplined organization of consolidated patterns to achieve maximum productivity and security. Gateway-Oriented Architecture (GOA) aims to simplify microservices development by isolating security and communication complexity into specialized components called Gateways. Instead of having each microservice handle authentication, authorization, routing, and public ex…  ( 7 min )

Among the various search algorithms, Linear Search stands out as the most fundamental. In this article, we will delve into the workings of Linear Search and break down its implementation step by step. Linear Search is a simple search algorithm that examines each element in a list one by one until it finds the desired element or reaches the end of the list. It doesn't need the data to be sorted. Let’s use the array below as an example and say we need to search for the number 63. The algorithm will first check the first element, 80. The index pointer will ask: “Is 80 the number we need?” The algorithm responds: “No, it’s not!” The index pointer moves to the next element, 14. The pointer asks, “Is 14 the number we’re looking for?” The algorithm replies, “No.” It will then move to the nex…  ( 8 min )

This isn't just a nice-to-have anymore—it's table stakes for modern enterprise systems. Zero-downtime architecture is the art and science of designing systems that remain operational during updates, maintenance, and even partial failures. It's about creating resilient systems that can evolve without interrupting the user experience. But let's be…  ( 13 min )

Recently I experimented with Cognito secured AWS API Gateways and came across an annoying problem - how can I test my application end to end without having to log in to Cognito with a Browser? Removing the Cognito Authorizer for testing purposes would be one option, but there are cases where applications make use of the tokens for access control or other mechanisms and changing the application behaviour with regards to tokens just for tests doesn't seem be right. Fortunately, CDK supports custom AWS resources that can be used to create dummy users with all the attributes necessary! First, we define a Lambda that backs our API. For the purposes of this, the Lambda will just return the AWS Region in which it runs. producer/main.go package main import ( "context" "encoding/json" …  ( 7 min )

Lately I’ve been trying to get more consistent with my Linux workflow — not just using it, but actually understanding what’s going on under the hood. While looking for practical, no-fluff resources, I came across this site that really clicked with me. It’s not overwhelming or packed with ads; just clean, focused content. There’s a section called the Linux Library that I’ve bookmarked already. It breaks down commands, concepts, and tools in a way that feels like a cheat sheet you’d actually use. Whether you’re brushing up on your terminal skills or exploring new tools, it’s super handy. What I liked most is that it doesn’t assume you’re a beginner, but also doesn’t throw jargon at you without explanation. It feels like it was written by someone who actually uses Linux daily and gets what’s useful in real-life situations.  ( 5 min )

In recent months, the term vibe coding has gained traction — generating code with the help of AI, iterating quickly until you get something that works. Does it work? Yes, especially for problems that are widely documented on the internet. But like any powerful tool, it must be used consciously — especially in a corporate environment, where the challenges are very different from GitHub tutorials. This article walks you through a debugging process you can apply to ensure that the code generated (by you, AI, or colleagues) actually works. It also covers where AI shines and where it tends to fail. 1. Where AI Works Well — and Where It Fails AI is great at solving problems that have already been solved and are widely documented.

The field of software engineering is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Large Language Models (LLMs). What was once a discipline grounded in rigid processes and strict team roles is rapidly evolving into a more dynamic, intelligent, and automated ecosystem. From Traditional Teams to Intelligent Orchestration Enter AI and LLMs. Today, with the advancement of technologies like Model Coordination Protocols (MCP) and AI-driven development assistants, many of these roles are becoming partially or fully automatable. We’re no longer just writing code — we’re architecting systems that write, test, review, and even debug themselves. The MCP Engineer: A New Role in the AI Era Here’s how the process unfolds in this new paradigm: The engineer feeds high-level product requirements into the system. An LLM generates UI/UX mockups based on user personas and product goals. Another model creates a development plan, breaking the work into frontend, backend, and integration tasks. AI agents write code, generate API specs, and build responsive UIs. Test suites are auto-generated and executed, including edge cases. Documentation is produced as the system understands what it built. The product is deployed via automated CI/CD, and monitored using AI-powered observability tools. Throughout this process, the MCP engineer supervises the automation — identifying failures, debugging AI misinterpretations, and refining prompts or training data. Why This Matters It’s not about replacing creativity with code generation — it’s about scaling creativity across the stack. The Future Is Collaborative Intelligence Engineering, in its modern form, is becoming less about typing lines of code and more about orchestrating intelligent subsystems — like a maestro guiding a symphony where each instrument is powered by AI.  ( 6 min )

Tagasaurus is a privacy-first media-manager that lives entirely on your desktop. Drop photos, videos, GIFs, PDFs, or audio files into the app and Tagasaurus builds a fully local library you can search like magic. Type a natural-language description ('sunset over the vacation 2019', 'college picnic 2012') or let the camera roll: Tagasaurus can find every shot of your old friend Jack by comparing face embeddings even if you never wrote a single tag. Because everything runs offline, none of your memories ever leave your machine. It can handle storing audio, pdfs, gifs and video. https://github.com/mantzaris/Tagasaurus/ Under the hood the app is a tight Electron JS bundle with a modern Svelte 5 + Routify frontend. The renderer is written in TypeScript with runes-based reactivity and Tailwind-style utility classes, while the main process handles heavy lifting in Node. Media ingest pipelines lean on fluent-ffmpeg (pointed at statically bundled ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries) to extract thumbnails, duration metadata, and frames for face detection. Faces are embedded with an ArcFace ONNX model; text search uses a lightweight sentence-embedding model—both executed through onnxruntime for fast, CPU-friendly inference. Vectors, file hashes, and canonical paths land in a libSQL (SQLite) database, giving you ACID guarantees and blistering full-text + nearest-neighbour queries without shipping a server.

The first real backend decision I made on Learnflow AI wasn’t about speed, performance, or even voice logic. It was about simplicity. From the start, I knew two things: Every user should be on a plan (Free or Pro) Every plan should define exactly what features the user could access But here’s the problem: Most tools split these concerns across two completely different services. One API for auth. Another for billing. A third for usage tracking (usually the database). You end up stitching together logic just to answer a question as basic as: "Can this user start a session right now?" Learnflow AI isn’t a typical SaaS app. It’s usage-based, voice-powered, and session-restricted. And to make the experience smooth, I didn’t want 5 lookups across 3 APIs.

THINGS I’VE WORKED ON/COMPLETED… The Find method in BST. The levelOrderForEach in BST. In the levelOrderForEach method, I wasn’t entirely sure ‘how much’ should go into the callback (what to put in the callback v the main method, but I realised that if I created the array in the callback, that this would not work as a new array would be created each time. I asked for some advice about this and was told that it was perfectly acceptable for the callback to perform a simple task (console logging nodes visited in this case). I tried to implement recursion in the levelOrderForEach method, but struggled with it - someone suggested to me that recursion might not be the best way to approach BFS, so I went with the iterative approach in the end.

Hey Devs, Dhruv Here. 👋 I've been building software and writing content about it for about 7 years now. I’ve witnessed the evolution of tooling — from writing repetitive code manually to having AI pair-programmers that feel almost magical. 2024-2025 has been a whirlwind for agentic AI. We're not just getting code suggestions anymore — we’re delegating entire tasks to AI-powered agents. In this post, I’m sharing 10 AI agentic tools that I personally find game-changing — the kind that save time, reduce context switching, and let me focus more on architecture and less on boilerplate. Quick detour for clarity — agentic tools are not just passive assistants like autocomplete or chatbots. These are task-completing, goal-oriented AIs. You give them intent (“write tests for this module” or “gener…  ( 7 min )

In my Task Automation API, I added email notification support using Python’s smtplib. The setup is minimal, uses no extra packages, and leverages environment variables to securely manage SMTP credentials. Here’s a breakdown of the implementation, inspired by this commit: View commit on GitHub import smtplib from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart import os def send_email(recipient: str, subject: str, body: str): sender = os.getenv("SMTP_SENDER") password = os.getenv("SMTP_PASSWORD") smtp_server = os.getenv("SMTP_SERVER") smtp_port = int(os.getenv("SMTP_PORT", 587)) msg = MIMEMultipart() msg["From"] = sender msg["To"] = recipient msg["Subject"] = subject msg.attach(MIMEText(body, "plain")) with smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port) as server: server.starttls() server.login(sender, password) server.sendmail(sender, recipient, msg.as_string()) To keep secrets out of the codebase, define these in your .env file or server environment: SMTP_SENDER: Your email address SMTP_PASSWORD: SMTP password or app-specific password SMTP_SERVER: SMTP host, e.g., smtp.gmail.com SMTP_PORT: Port number, usually 587 How I Use It After a user schedules a task, once and it’s validated, I call send_email to notify them: send_email( recipient=current_user.email, subject="File Upload Successful", body=f"Your file {file.filename} was uploaded and verified." ) No external dependencies Secure configuration with environment variables Easy to extend for HTML emails or attachments later Adding SMTP email with smtplib is a lightweight, effective way to send notifications in your FastAPI app. This pattern fits nicely in automation workflows like mine.

AI Copilot or Job Killer? Microsoft's New Report Details the Future of Work In a landmark new report, Microsoft has shed light on one of the most pressing questions of our time: how will generative AI reshape the job market? The tech giant, a key player in the AI revolution, has analyzed the skills and tasks most susceptible to automation. The findings suggest not a simple story of replacement, but a complex evolution where adaptability will be paramount, moving beyond hype to provide a data-driven look at the roles facing the most significant transformation. According to the analysis, roles characterized by repetitive, predictable tasks are most exposed to AI's influence. This is less about entire professions disappearing overnight and more about specific functions within them being automated. Key areas identified include office and administrative support, where tasks like scheduling and data entry are prime candidates for AI assistants, and customer service, where chatbots can handle routine inquiries, freeing up human agents for more complex issues. However, the report emphasizes that this disruption is a double-edged sword. Microsoft frames AI primarily as a "copilot" designed to augment human capabilities, not eliminate them. The key takeaway is a call for a massive shift in workforce skills. The roles least at risk are those that rely heavily on uniquely human traits: critical thinking, complex problem-solving, emotional intelligence, and creativity. The future of work, as envisioned by Microsoft, is one of human-AI collaboration. The challenge now lies in reskilling and upskilling the workforce to thrive in this new, augmented reality.  ( 7 min )

Hey developers! 👋 Today I want to share some insights about the reset statement in Uniface ProcScript - a handy little command that can help you manage function values effectively. With some assistance from AI, I've put together this quick guide based on the official Uniface 10.4 documentation. The reset statement is pretty straightforward - it resets the value of a specified ProcScript function to 0 (FALSE). Think of it as a way to clear or reinitialize certain system functions when you need a fresh start. reset ProcScriptFunction For example: reset $procerror Parameter Data Type Description ProcScriptFunction Literal The ProcScript function you want to reset The $status variable will contain: <0: Reset cannot be used with the specified function 🚫 0: Function was successfully reset ✅ Good news! You can use reset in all component types except: Self-contained Reports 📄 Services 🔧 Here's a real-world scenario where reset comes in handy. Let's say you're working with form modifications: operation exec city = "New Orleans" ; this sets $formmod to 1 reset $formmod ; reset the modification indicator edit NAME end In this example: We modify the CITY field, which automatically sets $formmod to 1 🏙️ We then reset $formmod back to 0 using the reset statement 🔄 Finally, we edit the NAME field 📝 Remember that reset can only be used with functions that specifically support this feature. Always check the documentation for the particular function you're working with! The reset statement might seem simple, but it's a powerful tool for managing state in your Uniface applications. Whether you're dealing with error indicators, modification flags, or other system functions, knowing when and how to use reset can make your code cleaner and more predictable. Happy coding! 🚀 This article is based on the official Uniface 10.4 documentation.  ( 6 min )

(Първо публикувано на 20.01.2017) Днешният алгоритъм е доста интересен и всъщност доста ме плашеше преди време. 😀 Това е един от най-популярните алгоритми за сортиране и е широко използван в практиката, тъй като е подходящ за големи списъци от данни. Това е Quicksort! Погледнете обяснението за QuickSort в AlgoList — голяма част от информацията в този пост е взета от там (страхотен сайт с много добри обяснения за редица популярни алгоритми). ОПИСАНИЕ: Quicksort е алгоритъм за сортиране от тип “разделяй и владей” (разделяме задачата за сортиране на по-малки и накрая обединяваме малките решения в едно голямо). Както казахме, Quicksort е най-подходящ когато искаме да сортираме големи списъци от данни. Средната му сложност е O(n log n), а в най-лошия случай е O(n²), макар че в повечето случаи…  ( 10 min )

When working with Uniface development, one of the fundamental control structures you'll encounter is the repeat/until loop. With the help of AI, I've put together this comprehensive guide to help you understand and implement these loops effectively in your applications. 📚 The repeat/until statement in Uniface creates a loop that executes one or more ProcScript instructions repeatedly until a specified condition becomes TRUE. Unlike other loop types, this guarantees that the code block executes at least once before the condition is evaluated. repeat ... one or more ProcScript instructions ... until (Condition) Condition: A Boolean expression that must evaluate to TRUE to exit the loop Data Type Conversion: Uniface automatically converts any data types in the expression to boolean …  ( 6 min )

Hey developers! 👋 Today I want to share something useful about Uniface development that I've been working with recently. With some help from AI, I've put together this guide about the remocc statement in Uniface 10.4 - a powerful function for managing database entity occurrences. This post is based on the official Uniface documentation 10.4. The remocc statement in Uniface marks an occurrence of a specified entity for deletion at the next store operation. Think of it as marking a database record for removal - it doesn't delete immediately, but flags it for deletion when you perform a store command. remocc Entity, OccurrenceNumber remocc "CUSTOMER", 0 Entity (String): The entity where an occurrence should be removed. This can be a string, field, variable, function, or parameter that ev…  ( 6 min )

JavaScript is a programming language used to make the web pages interactive. It can update and change both HTML and CSS. Data Handling: In JavaScript, it refers to collect,store, process and manipulate data. JS Data types: Big int: It is used for storing big integer values in javascript [Ex:123456789012345678901234567890] In Java,data types can be divided into two groups: primitive and non-primitive. Primitive data types: Identifiers: It is the name which is given to the variables,function,arrays etc. How to declare variable in JavaScript: let name="Vidya"; In Java, the variable can be declared as: string name="Vidya"; Statically typed programming language: If a variable has to be declared, data type must be declared before defining the variables. Dynamically typed programming language: In this, no need of mentioning the type of variable when declaring it.The type is automatically decided at runtime, based on the value assigned. var: It is a keyword used to declare a variable in JS. There are two types of scopes : local scope and global scope. Local scope: In this, a variable can be accessed only inside a specific part of a code like a function. Global Scope: If a variable is declared outside any function using var, it becomes globally scoped i.e, it can be accessed from anywhere in the code. In Java, redeclaration cannot be done, but reinitialization can be done. let: It offers block scope, which means the variable exists only within the {}. let name=John; const: It is used to declare a variable whose value cannot be changed once the value is set. const i = 10; // Error Here, error will occur because a variable declared with const cannot be changed after its initial value is set.  ( 6 min )

While perusing my Masters of Computer Application in Gurugram, I’ve been preparing for coding interviews. It’s been hard but very rewarding. I wanted to get into the tech industry as a full stack web developer, so I decided to step up my study plan by following the famous NeetCode 150 questions list. This list is a carefully chosen set of questions that will help people get ready for software interviews at top tech companies. Why I Picked the NeetCode 150? NeetCode 150 is a full but easy-to-use playlist for anyone who wants to get better at data structures and algorithms. It includes the classic “Blind 75” list and 75 more handpicked questions. It covers all the important topics and groups problems into three levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. This lets you learn strategically and gradually improve your skills. My Progress So far Learning Highlight: Knowing the ins and outs of two-pointer techniques and recursion has really changed how I solve problems. Some days are hard, especially after a long day of lectures and homework, but sticking to a schedule (my goal is 10 questions per week) keeps me going. Tracking the percent of completion helps you see how far you’ve come and keep going. Doing the code solutions by hand: Reading the NeetCode solution is helpful, but actually writing the code yourself is what really helps you understand. Concentrate on Weak Areas: Are you having trouble with a problem? Put it aside for a week and then look at it again. Stay on track: Even solving one or two problems a day adds up quickly! Don’t Compare Your Progress: Everyone’s path is different. Some days you’ll solve a lot of problems, and other days you’ll only solve one. That’s fine. Happy coding ;-)  ( 6 min )

🚀 Tracking My First 4 Real Users — Lessons from Week 1 of Biz Tracker Hey devs 👋, I’m Prasoon — a 16-year-old developer from India. A few weeks ago, I launched my first real product: Biz Tracker, a browser-based stock and billing web app built for small businesses and indie founders. Since then, I've started seeing real users — not thousands, but enough to start learning. Here’s what my Umami dashboard showed in the last 24 hours: 👥 Total Visitors: 4 📈 Views: 11 🧭 Visit Duration: 3m 2s average ↩️ Bounce Rate: 25% 📱 Devices: 75% Tablet, 25% Mobile 🌍 Countries: 75% India 🇮🇳, 25% United States 🇺🇸 🔗 Referrer: vercel.com Even more interesting — users explored beyond just /stock: /map /about That’s real engagement 👀 Time spent matters more than traffic count People stayed for over 3 minutes — that tells me they’re not just clicking, they’re actually trying the tool. Low bounce = good first impression 25% bounce rate is solid. My landing flow might be working. Curiosity is validation Someone checked /map and /about. That means they were exploring — I should prioritize improving those next. Tablets dominate I designed Biz Tracker to work on mobile, but 75% used tablets. Time to fine-tune tablet experience too. Direct shares drive traffic Most traffic came from Vercel — likely users checking my shared link or deployment. Organic sharing works! Here’s what I’m building next: 🗺️ /map tab update 📈 Better dashboard visuals 🧾 Invoice builder 📤 Data export/download 💬 Feedback button You can: 🧪 Try the app: https://biz-tracker-vert.vercel.app/stock 🗣️ Send feedback (good or bad) 📤 Share with someone who runs a business, startup, or shop Thanks for reading — I’m building in public and learning every day.

When you're learning about databases, one concept you'll hear often is the foreign key. At first, it might sound a bit technical, but don’t worry—I'll explain it in a simple way, with examples, so it sticks. A foreign key is a column (or a set of columns) in one table that refers to the primary key in another table. Think of it as a link or relationship between two tables in your database. ✅ It helps keep your data connected and consistent. Imagine you have two boxes: Box 1: A list of countries with unique IDs (Primary key) Box 2: A list of people, where each person belongs to a country To know which country each person is from, you store the country ID from Box 1 inside Box 2. That country ID in Box 2 is a foreign key. Let’s say we have two tables: countries table CREATE TABLE countr…  ( 6 min )

Working with database operations in Uniface can sometimes feel like juggling multiple balls at once, especially when dealing with concurrent access and record locking. Today, I want to share insights about one of Uniface's essential database statements: reload. 🎯 Note: This article is based on the official Uniface Documentation 10.4, and I had assistance from AI to structure and present this information. The reload statement in Uniface is designed to reread and lock the current occurrence from the database. Think of it as a refresh button that not only updates your local copy of a record but also secures it for your exclusive use. 🔒 The basic syntax is straightforward: reload{/nolock} The optional /nolock qualifier allows you to reread the current occurrence without locking it in the da…  ( 6 min )

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how we can further optimize software development with AI. And then it hit me—what if we had a workspace, like Trello, specifically designed not just for humans, but to orchestrate collaboration with AI models? https://aifa.dev will have this in its function These days, we often let AI decide how to implement a feature. It feels a little like having a Tesla on autopilot—smooth and automatic, but sometimes you just want more control. What if we gave that autopilot a “manual gearbox”? Picture this: Project Capture: The Trello-like system “swallows” your whole project—files, structure, dependencies. No more “but it works locally.” Micro Changes: Every AI request introduces the smallest possible change. Forget “build the whole component.” Instead: “Add email val…  ( 6 min )

GORM is one of the most popular Object Relational Mappers for Go. It provides a clean, expressive API for interacting with databases, abstracting away much of the boilerplate SQL code while still allowing fine-tuned control when needed. To start using GORM, first install the library: go get -u gorm.io/gorm go get -u gorm.io/driver/sqlite # or another driver like mysql/postgres Then, set up a simple connection: import ( "gorm.io/gorm" "gorm.io/driver/sqlite" ) db, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("test.db"), &gorm.Config{}) if err != nil { panic("failed to connect database") } You define your data structures as Go structs. GORM uses reflection to map these to database tables: type User struct { gorm.Model Name string Email string } Create: db.Create(&User{Name: "Alice", Email: "alice@example.com"}) Read: var user User db.First(&user, 1) // find user with ID 1 db.Where("name = ?", "Alice").First(&user) Update: db.Model(&user).Update("Email", "new@example.com") Delete: db.Delete(&user) Productivity: Less boilerplate, cleaner code. Portability: Works with multiple databases. Flexibility: Lets you drop down to raw SQL when needed. Slightly larger binary size. May not be the fastest for high-performance use cases — consider raw SQL or sqlx if needed. GORM is a great tool for building Go applications that need reliable database interaction with minimal friction. It’s especially useful for rapid development, small to medium-sized apps, and teams looking for readability over raw performance.  ( 6 min )

This is a submission for the Redis AI Challenge: Beyond the Cache. I built a location-aware prayer time web app that delivers three core features: Mosque-Specific Display Each mosque has a unique URL that shows its daily prayer schedule, name, address, and date. The times are accurate based on its stored latitude and longitude. Browser-Based Location Detection When users visit the general homepage (https://redis-prayer-times.netlify.app), the app detects their location using the browser’s geolocation API, fetches their latitude and longitude, and then displays prayer times specific to their location. Nearby Mosque Finder This makes it easy for both mosque administrators and everyday users to access accurate prayer times tailored to their precise location. 🌐 Live Website: General: https://redis-prayer-times.netlify.app Mosque-Specific: Example: Masjid Istiqlal Nearby Mosques: https://redis-prayer-times.netlify.app/nearby-mosque How I Used Redis Cloud This project uses Redis Cloud beyond caching in the following ways: Each mosque's coordinates (latitude, longitude) are stored in Redis using GEOADD, with their mosque ID or name as the key. When a user's location is detected via the browser: The app executes GEOSEARCH to find the nearest mosque(s) within a certain radius (e.g., 5km or 10km). If a nearby mosque is found, the app uses its exact location to fetch the corresponding prayer times. The mosque’s name and address are also displayed to the user. Tech Stack Frontend: Vue.js + Tailwind CSS Backend: Netlify Functions (Node.js) Database: Redis Cloud Deployment: Netlify Geolocation: HTML5 Geolocation API + Redis GEO https://github.com/siswoyo-dev/redis-prayer-times ✅ This app makes prayer time tracking easy, accessible, and personalized — powered efficiently with Redis!  ( 6 min )

“The most scalable systems separate responsibility — and memory.” Modern enterprise systems demand scalability, auditability, performance, and clarity in design. This is where CQRS and Event Sourcing shine. Let's explore what they are, the problems they solve, when to use them, and when not to. CQRS stands for Command Query Responsibility Segregation. It’s an architectural pattern that separates read and write operations into different models. Commands: Change system state (e.g., createOrder, updateUser). Queries: Return system state (e.g., getOrdersByUserId). Instead of using one data model for both, CQRS proposes distinct models — one optimized for writes (commands) and one for reads (queries). Event Sourcing is a pattern where state changes are stored as a sequence of events, not just a…  ( 7 min )

Understanding the Relationship Between Control and Risk Risk management and project control are deeply intertwined. While risk management identifies and analyzes potential threats to a project, the control process provides the framework to track, respond to, and mitigate those risks in real-time. It acts as the operational layer that ensures the strategies defined in the risk management plan are being applied consistently and effectively throughout the project lifecycle. The project control process facilitates early detection of risks through constant monitoring of project performance indicators. By comparing actual progress with planned values, control mechanisms can identify trends that signal the emergence of potential risks. For instance, if a specific task is consistently delayed, i…  ( 6 min )

🏰 KRUSKAL: The Last Roadmaker — A Tale of Steel and Shadows “A kingdom is not built by kings alone, but by the silent architects who connect every soul.” From the Scroll of Edges, hidden deep beneath the Spine of the World Long ago, the world was not one kingdom but a scattering of hundreds. Every village, every mountain fortress, every lakeside manor — stood alone, afraid, proud, disconnected. The gods of chaos danced in the space between them. No road dared bridge two lands, for the forests were cursed and the rivers whispered death. Yet hope stirred. Because roads… roads connect hearts.

Here’s a small internal list I keep for clean and stable WordPress setups. Nothing fancy, just things I wish someone had told me earlier :) Go to Settings > Permalinks and choose "Post name". Please don't wait until you’ve created 20 posts to change this. Less is more. Fewer plugins mean fewer problems. Stick to a core stack you trust. I use: Elementor Pro + JetEngine + WP Rocket + Fluent Forms. Unless you’re using remote apps or Jetpack, disable it. Some security plugins allow you to turn it off with one click. Block useless folders like /wp-content/plugins/ and allow only what needs indexing. Don’t block the site by mistake :) You don’t need a fancy staging server: LocalWP or MAMP can save your ass before going live. Simple stuff, but if you apply it early on, you avoid pain later. And if something breaks, fix it… or delete it and pretend it never happened ;) 🌱 Ellie Miguel – elliemiguel.es  ( 5 min )

Starting today, we'll dive deep into a crucial feature of the Dart language — Null Safety. Introduced in Dart 2.12, null safety is a major enhancement that fundamentally changes how we handle null values, making our code more robust and reliable. In this lesson, we'll first understand "why null safety is needed" and its basic concepts. Before learning about null safety, let's clarify one question: Why bother introducing null safety? The answer is simple — to eliminate Null Pointer Exceptions (NPEs). A null pointer exception occurs when you try to access a property or call a method on a variable that has a value of null. For example: void main() { String name; // Uninitialized variable (defaults to null in non-null-safe mode) print(name.length); // Trying to access length on null } W…  ( 8 min )

My head feels like it went through a blender, but the good kind of blender where you might actually emerge with a smoothie brain that understands component lifecycles. The plan is to wrap up React tomorrow and jump into Tailwind CSS. Because apparently, my brain needed more styling frameworks to juggle alongside everything else I'm trying to cram in there. Made it to the library with my umbrella, which performed slightly better today. Still got drenched, but hey, improvement is improvement, right? There's something about the library environment that just makes you want to actually get stuff done, even when your brain is protesting every new concept you're trying to shove into it. Had one of those moments while heading to the library where I thought, "why can't I just marry rich and skip all this?" But then reality kicks in - apparently, it's the guys' job to mess themselves up with work (thanks, society). Spontaneously created a team for an ideathon today. Called it "timepass" but we both know how these things usually end up. One minute you're just participating for fun, the next minute you're three days deep Tackle Tailwind CSS (because my brain clearly needed more frameworks) The learning curve is steep, the concepts are multiplying faster than I can process them, and my umbrella skills are marginally improving. What more can you ask for in a day?  ( 6 min )

Someone I know forged attendance records for weeks, possibly months. Their log in time in the WhatsApp attendance group was 9:30 am but in the actual biometric device, their log in time was 9:50 am. They also left early on several days after taking permission from the manager but never documented it in the attendance group (only 2 hours of permission is allowed per month). And they took second half leaves and did not document it in the WhatsApp attendance group and did not log out in the biometric device on those specific days. Do you think what they did was unethical? Do you think what they did was fraud? And the company did not take any action on them. Do you think that is morally responsible? This leaves me with these questions for the person involved: Is your character's worth equivalent to half a day's salary? Can you sleep at night knowing that you cheated the very people you spent the whole day with? Do you think it is fair that you get away with such things whereas other people honestly track their time, hours and leaves? This leaves me with these thoughts regarding the person involved: Did they grow up thinking that unethical things are okay as long as you don't get caught? Are their actions a direct reflection of their upbringing? In their mind, do they think they did not do anything wrong? Maybe because they have done it so many times and haven't gotten caught. And these are my thoughts about the way the management handled the situation: Is inaction in such a situation a result of a lack of moral courage? Is it fair to other employees who are honest? Inaction in such a situation creates resentment among honest people. Inaction in such a situation is a way to reward dishonesty and punish honesty.

As developers, we rely heavily on API platforms to test, document, and manage our services. For years, Postman has been the preferred tool. However, lately, Apidog has been gaining popularity as a modern alternative. So… which one should you choose? Pros: Mature ecosystem with extensive integrations. Rich support for automated testing and monitoring. Great collaboration features via Postman Workspaces. Large community and documentation. Cons: Heavier UI, can feel slow for basic tasks. Some advanced features are locked behind a paywall. Pros: Combines API testing + documentation + mock + management in one UI. Native OpenAPI/Swagger-style workflow. Lightweight, clean interface. Faster performance in many cases. Cons: Smaller community and fewer integrations (for now). Still evolving—some features might feel beta-like. If you're working in a team with deep integration needs, Postman remains a strong choice. However, if you're looking for a fast, modern tool that seamlessly integrates API documentation and testing with minimal overhead, Apidog might surprise you. I’m starting to reach for Apidog on new projects—especially solo or small-team builds. It just feels… smoother. Follow @mahmud-r-farhan for more!  ( 5 min )

Many small businesses think cyberattacks won’t happen to them. But hackers often target small companies because they know the defenses are weak. One mistake can lead to stolen data, lost customers, and legal trouble. This guide shows easy ways to protect your network using basic tools. Weak passwords are easy to guess. If you use something like password123 or the same password on every account, you’re making it easy for hackers. Use different passwords for each account. Make them long—at least 12 characters. Mix letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, Tr!ckH0use_94# is way better than admin123. Don’t try to remember them all. Use a password manager. It stores your passwords safely.

My take on the Andy Byron Coldplay incident: We see that Andy Byron got a lot more heat than Kristin Cabot for what happened at Coldplay. Do you know why? Because he is at more fault. First off - why do I say he got more heat? Because he is the one that the social media people cannot stop talking about. His wife's reaction is more discussed than Kristin's husband's reaction. And now - why is he more at fault? Because he was in a position of power and he misused it. Andy Byron as the CEO of Astronomer had a lot more power than any other employee in the company and he chose to use that power to seek an inappropriate and unethical relationship with another employee in the company who worked below him. Any one is Kristin's place would have felt coerced to go along. That is not an affair, that is coercion and harassment. And she is not a singular woman in this situation. Many women all over the world feel obliged to stay in inappropriate relationships because of power imbalance and fear of losing their jobs. And he is certainly not a singular man in this situation. Many men abuse their positions of power to get what they want. Some might argue that she looked too happy in the video for it to be coercion. To them, I'd like to say this - once you make a decision, your mind makes peace with it, it becomes your reality and instead of being unhappy all the time, your brain accepts your reality and stays happy even in difficult situations that you'd rather not be in. That's resilience.  ( 6 min )

Weekly Challenge 332 Each week Mohammad S. Anwar sends out The Weekly Challenge, a chance for all of us to come up with solutions to two weekly tasks. My solutions are written in Python first, and then converted to Perl. It's a great way for us all to practice some coding. Challenge, My solutions You are given a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Write a script to convert it into binary date. For this task, I do these steps. Split the date from input_string on hyphens into the date_parts list (array in Perl). Convert each part from an integer to binary value. This is stored as binary_parts. Join the binary_parts list in a single string separated by hyphens. Python def binary_date(input_string: str) -> str: date_parts = input_string.split('-') binary_parts = [bin(int(part))[2:] for part in date_parts] return '-'.join(binary_parts) Perl sub main ($input_string) { my @date_parts = split /-/, $input_string; my @binary_parts = map { sprintf( "%b", $_ ) } @date_parts; say join( '-', @binary_parts ); } $ ./ch-1.py 2025-07-26 11111101001-111-11010 $ ./ch-1.py 2000-02-02 11111010000-10-10 $ ./ch-1.py 2024-12-31 11111101000-1100-11111 You are given a string. Write a script to find out if each letter in the given string appeared odd number of times. Python has the Counter method that will convert an iterable (like a string) and create a dictionary with the frequency of each letter. I then use the all function to check if all letters occur an odd number of times. def odd_letters(input_string: str) -> bool: freq = Counter(input_string) return all(count % 2 == 1 for count in freq.values()) Perl doesn't have an equivalent of the Counter function, so I do that part by hand. sub main ($input_string) { my %freq = (); for my $char ( split //, $input_string ) { $freq{$char}++; } my $all_odd = all { $_ % 2 == 1 } values %freq; say $all_odd ?

Hey Dev community 👋 I’m Bhanu, currently working in customer support role, and today I’m finally doing what I always dreamed of — learning to become a developer. I didn’t grow up with access to modern computers or tech. I come from a remote village in India. My journey with technology started on a ₹500 keypad phone when I was about 10–12 years old. Somehow, I managed to download newly released movies, Java games, and explored every corner of that tiny device. Tech always fascinated me. Later, when I got a Nokia Windows phone in class 10th, I turned it into a mock Android using launchers and tweaks. I figured out how to run games that weren’t even supported or released in India. Family and friends always came to me for fixing phones or tech issues. Despite never owning a laptop, I learned more about computers and systems than most people around me. I’m not saying this to boast — it’s just who I am. I’m curious, a fast learner, and I like breaking down problems to the fundamentals. Things I’ve taught myself: Solved a Rubik's cube within minutes Learned Sudoku in few hours Can play chess and guitar Now: diving into front-end development I recently purchased a MacBook, downloaded VS Code, built a simple portfolio site, and started learning HTML & CSS with freeCodeCamp. This blog is the first of many. I’ll be sharing my learnings here. If you're on a similar path or made the switch from a non-tech role — I'd love to hear your story too.

As developers, we’ve all said it: “I’ll finish my portfolio this weekend.” That’s why I decided to build a lightweight, ready-to-use portfolio template — and share it with the community. I needed a personal site that: Looked clean and modern Loaded fast on all devices Included smooth animations Was quick and easy to customize Most templates I found were bloated, overly complex, or simply not developer-friendly. So I created my own — built with simplicity and flexibility in mind using: HTML – for clean structure Tailwind CSS – to build fast with utility-first classes GSAP – for subtle, scroll-based animations A responsive layout that works on all screen sizes Scroll-triggered GSAP animations Clean, semantic HTML Utility-first styling with Tailwind Pre-built sections: Hero, About, Projects, Contact You can clone it, customize it, and make it your own — whether you’re applying for your first dev job or refreshing your freelance brand. Front-end developers who want to skip boilerplate Freelancers who need a fast, stylish portfolio Students and job seekers building their personal brand Anyone who wants to ship faster and stand out I’ve made the template available on a platform where you can preview it, grab the files, and start customizing. Grab Now Thanks for reading! Hope this helps you finally finish (or start) that portfolio project you’ve been putting off. Feel free to share how you customize it — I’d love to see what you build.  ( 6 min )

I’ve been writing and reviewing Go code for a while now - from building backend services to contributing to open-source projects. One thing I’ve learned the hard way is that insecure code doesn’t always look "wrong" - sometimes it looks completely ordinary. In this post, I want to share five common patterns I keep seeing in real-world Go codebases that can easily turn into serious security issues. These aren’t exotic bugs — they’re patterns that show up quietly, subtly, and often go unnoticed in PRs, even by experienced teams. Let’s start with the classic: query := fmt.Sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '%s'", email) Even if email is sanitized upstream, or “should never come from user input”, you’ve just opened the door for SQL injection.

Some time ago I completed the CodeCrafters BitTorrent challenge, and after that I rewrote the torrent client in Blazor to understand it more deeply and also as a portfolio project. So I chose Blazor rather than going with .NET MVC. I took on this project to enhance my C# skills and logic, and I learned more about how cryptography works, networking, TCP handshake, and obviously how BitTorrent files work. This article isn’t a deep dive, but rather a quick overview of how I built the BitTorrent client and how it works under the hood. BitTorrent files are decoded using bencoding, and you have to decode this format to get the file contents. Bencoding supports 4 types, and they are encoded like below: Integers are encoded as ie. Zero is encoded as i0e. Byte Strings are enc…  ( 7 min )

Today, we'll dive deeper into two other core features of object-oriented programming — inheritance and polymorphism — along with the use of abstract classes and interfaces. These features help us build more flexible and scalable code structures. Inheritance allows one class (child class) to inherit properties and methods from another class (parent class), while adding new properties/methods or modifying parent class methods. This greatly improves code reusability. Use the extends keyword to implement inheritance: // Parent class (base class) class Animal { String name; int age; // Parent class constructor Animal(this.name, this.age); // Parent class methods void eat() { print("$name is eating"); } void sleep() { print("$name is sleeping"); } } // Child class (…  ( 10 min )

Gardening is a rewarding hobby, but plant diseases can be frustrating, especially when you notice rust spots spreading across your leaves. Rust is a fungal infection that weakens plants by reducing photosynthesis, eventually affecting blooms and harvests. The good news? You can treat rust organically without relying on harsh chemicals. Here are five effective, eco-friendly methods to protect your garden. As soon as you notice rust spots, remove the infected leaves and dispose of them in the trash (not the compost bin). This stops the fungus from spreading to healthy parts of your plant. Fungal infections thrive in damp, crowded spaces. Spacing your plants properly and lightly pruning can increase airflow, making it harder for rust to survive. Wet leaves are a playground for rust fungi. Instead of overhead watering, water at the base of your plants early in the morning. This keeps leaves dry and reduces fungal growth. Homemade sprays like baking soda solution (1 tsp per quart of water with a few drops of dish soap) can help slow fungal growth. Neem oil is another organic fungicide that’s safe for most plants and highly effective against rust. Healthy plants resist diseases better. Add compost, worm castings, or compost tea to improve soil health, giving your plants the nutrients they need to fight off infections naturally. Learn More About Organic Plant Care Treat Rust on Plants Organically With consistent care and organic methods, your plants can bounce back and thrive without harmful chemicals.  ( 6 min )

Nullsafe Operator (?->) ✅ Purpose: Safely access a property/method only if the object is not null. // Without nullsafe $name = $user && $user->profile ? $user->profile->name : null; // With nullsafe $name = $user?->profile?->name; ✅ Use it to simplify deep object access that might be null. Named Arguments ✅ Purpose: Call functions using argument names instead of relying on order. Named arguments were introduced in PHP 8.0, released on November 26, 2020. ✅ Key Details: Order doesn't matter, as long as required arguments are passed. Great for optional parameters and readability. function sendMail($to, $subject, $message) {} sendMail( to: 'user@example.com', message: 'Hello!', subject: 'Welcome' // ✅ Order doesn’t matter! ); e.g : function createUser(string $name, int $age, string $role = 'user') { return "$name is $age and has role $role"; } echo createUser(age: 25, name: 'Raza', role: 'admin'); ✅ Great for readability, especially with many optional parameters. Constructor Property Promotion ✅ Purpose: Auto-declare and assign class properties from the constructor. old way : before php 8.0 class Product { public string $name; public int $price; public function __construct(string $name, int $price) { $this->name = $name; $this->price = $price; } } new way: not support for previos versions of php before 8.0 class Product { public function __construct( public string $name, public int $price ) {} } 🧠 Benefits: Makes class definitions cleaner and easier to read. Supports visibility modifiers (public, protected, private) and default values. 🔍 Notes: Works with typed properties (which were introduced in PHP 7.4). Promoted properties must have a visibility modifier (public, private, or protected).  ( 6 min )

Working on my MERN stack project (which I will reveal in the future), I came across an issue that almost everyone faces at least once when dealing with Mongoose and MongoDB queries. It happens when we query some result from MongoDB, and the result contains sensitive information that we do not want to share with the client. I searched for solutions and found some simple ways to avoid this: ._doc object from the MongoDB response if (newUser) { const { password: pwd, ...responseData } = newUser._doc; // <-- res.status(201).json({ msg: "User created successfully.", user: responseData // user: newUser }) } Here, by using the ._doc object, you can separate the password from the rest of the data and return only the safe response data, without worrying…  ( 6 min )

Ever have an idea for a web app but get bogged down by the setup before you even write a single line of application code? I’ve been there. This time, while catching up on the F1 highlights from last weekend’s race, I decided to try something different. I built a single-page web application that queries a GraphQL API, and I did it almost entirely within the Amazon Kiro IDE, leaning heavily on a concept called spec-driven development. This is the story of how I went from a simple idea to a solid architectural plan in minutes. My journey started with a chat. Not with a colleague, but with Kiro. True to its friendly ghost icon, the AI felt like an invisible helper ready to assist.

Open your LinkedIn feed. You'll see a sea of professional headshots, all blending into a uniform blue and white landscape. But every so often, a profile picture catches your eye. It has a subtle ring of color, a word, or a simple design. That small detail is a LinkedIn Frame, and it’s one of the most underutilized tools for personal branding on the platform. While LinkedIn offers default frames like #OpenToWork or #Hiring, they are generic. Imagine, instead, a frame that uses your brand's colors, promotes your latest project, or announces your role as an event speaker. This is more than just decoration; it's a strategic way to communicate your value before anyone even clicks on your profile. This guide shows you why it matters and how you can create your own in less than a minute. In the …  ( 7 min )

What Really Happened in the Tea App Data Breach (And Why Principles Matter) In July 2025, the Tea app suffered two major data breaches — and both were preventable with basic engineering practices.

In a recent project, I refactored a custom ERP system that had grown over two years. It was time to clean up the monolithic structure and prepare it for scale. Here's how I redesigned the architecture using a modular approach with Laravel 10 and PHP 8.2. As more features were added—purchase inquiries, document management, RFQ workflows, role permissions—the codebase started feeling heavy. Controllers became bloated. Files were scattered. We needed a better way to scale without chaos. I used nWidart/laravel-modules, a well-maintained package that enables Laravel to support modular structure out of the box. Each feature was moved into its own module: Inquiry module – manages purchase requests and workflows Document module – handles categorized file uploads (tech, inquiry, PO, etc.) RFQ modules – separate for Sales and Procurement User & Roles module – integrated with Spatie Permissions 🛠️ Key Tools & Techniques Service-Repository Pattern for separation of concerns Swagger/OpenAPI for documenting each module's API Laravel Sanctum for secure authentication Spatie MediaLibrary for handling file uploads Custom Middleware for module-based permissions Database migrations scoped per module After refactoring: The codebase became easier to test and extend Teams could work in parallel on isolated modules Adding new features doesn’t require editing 10 unrelated files CI/CD pipeline was adjusted to test modules independently If you’re building a long-term Laravel project with growing complexity, don’t wait too long to go modular. It’s an upfront effort, but it pays off as your system scales. Let me know if you'd like me to share a sample structure or even turn this into a starter template.

Every few years, the tech world picks a new scapegoat. This time, it’s AI. “AI will replace developers,” they scream. “Coding will be obsolete in five years!” We’ve seen this movie before, and spoiler: it never ends how the doom prophets say it will. But this time, the panic isn’t just coming from clueless outsiders. It’s coming from developers themselves — or at least, people who play one on LinkedIn. Let’s break this down. Remember when the following were supposed to end programming as we knew it? Visual Basic (early 2000s): “You won’t need programmers anymore.” Still waiting.

The standard process for compiling and installing an application from source usually follows these steps: Download and Extract: Download the source code, which is usually a compressed archive (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, etc.). Configure: Run the ./configure script (if it exists) to check for dependencies and prepare the Makefile. ./configure Compile: Run the make command to compile the code. make Install: Run sudo make install to install the final binary and its associated files to the system. sudo make install Important Note: Always check the README or INSTALL files that come with the source code, as the build process can vary significantly between projects. For local installation ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local make make install Cmake Build software application using CMake: mkdir build cd build Configure with a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: You specify the installation directory when running cmake. cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local The .. tells cmake to look for the CMakeLists.txt file in the parent directory. Compile and Install: make make install Making the Binaries Accessible After a local installation, the executable files are in a directory like ~/.local/bin, but your shell might not know where to find them. To fix this, you need to add this directory to your PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell's configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc): export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH  ( 6 min )

Today, we'll dive into advanced function features — higher-order functions and closures. These are core concepts in Dart's functional programming paradigm, making code more concise and flexible, and are essential techniques in Flutter development. A higher-order function is a function that can accept other functions as parameters or return a function as a result. Simply put, it's a function that "operates" on other functions. When functions are passed as parameters, we can abstract common logic, making functions more extensible. Example: Generic Calculation Framework // Higher-order function: accepts two numbers and an operation function void calculate(int a, int b, int Function(int, int) operation) { int result = operation(a, b); print("Calculation result: $result"); } // Define spec…  ( 9 min )

🌎 Introduction Deploying a Go Echo application to AWS Lambda allows you to leverage a serverless architecture – no server management, auto-scaling, and pay-per-use pricing. Traditionally, Echo apps run as HTTP servers on their own ports, but Lambda functions are invoked by events (like API Gateway HTTP requests). In this guide, we’ll integrate the Echo framework with Lambda’s API Gateway event trigger, enabling your existing routes to run on Lambda with minimal code changes. We assume you already have a Go Echo app (or at least basic familiarity with Echo) and focus on adapting it for serverless deployment. Running Echo on Lambda brings the benefits of quick scaling and minimal idle cost. Thanks to Go’s fast startup and the efficiency of Echo, the performance overhead is small – Go is a…  ( 18 min )

Ever wondered how applications know your API keys, secret tokens, or database credentials without hardcoding them into your code? That magic comes from environment variables. And in many modern web development projects (especially in Node.js, React, Next.js, etc.), we use .env and .env.local files to store these values. Let’s break down what these files are, why they’re important, how they’re different, and some best practices to follow! A .env file is a simple text file that stores environment variables in a key-value format. Example: DATABASE_URL="postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb" API_KEY="12345-abcdef" PORT=3000 These variables can then be accessed inside your app using tools like dotenv in Node.js or automatically in frameworks like Next.js, React, or Vite.

Introduction Nuclear bombs are among the most powerful and destructive technologies ever created. Capable of annihilating entire cities in seconds, their existence has shaped the course of history and global politics since World War II. But behind their unimaginable force lies a deep well of physics, from atomic structure to chain reactions and nuclear fusion. This article explores how nuclear bombs work, the science that powers them, and the difference between their main types. At their core, nuclear bombs release energy stored in the nuclei of atoms, the tiny centers of matter that contain protons and neutrons. This energy comes from either splitting heavy atoms apart (called fission) or fusing light atoms together (called fusion). In both cases, the process converts a small amount of …  ( 7 min )

As the world advances technologically (and Guyana along with it), it is imperative that development does not happen in silos. Every sector, whether it be agriculture, education, health, governance, or others, relies on technology to grow, connect, and deliver. But for effective digital transformation to truly succeed in Guyana, I believe we need more than scattered projects and isolated initiatives. We need a unified national strategy, a National Digital Development Agenda. This agenda would serve as a cross-sector plan that unifies ministries, agencies, and communities under one shared vision for digital progress.

https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift Timeshift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. Timeshift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system. Timeshift is designed to be flexible. When you configure a new backup location, it doesn't just dump all the files in the root of the drive. It creates a dedicated folder structure that is unique to the operating system it's backing up. This is what makes it safe to use a single external drive for multiple systems. Timeshift's Magic: Timeshift is smart enough to see that the timeshift directory already exists on the drive. It will then create a new subdirectory inside of it to store the backups for the second computer. For example, your external drive's folder structure will look something like this: Timeshift-Backup/timeshift/ The hostname1 and hostname2 folders are created automatically by Timeshift to separate the backups for each machine. This ensures there are no file conflicts or overwrites. Create the First Snapshot: After configuration, create your first snapshot on Computer 2.  ( 5 min )

Problem Teams using Amazon Redshift often struggle with a paradox: they know Redshift excels at analytical workloads and can support focused data marts, but when it's time to build one, they face decision paralysis. Should they create a full enterprise data warehouse? Use flat tables? Which Redshift features actually matter? The lack of clear, practical guidance leads to projects that either become overly complex with unnecessary ETL pipelines and modeling layers, or overly simplistic with denormalized tables that become unmaintainable as data grows. A data mart is a subject-focused subset of your organization's data designed to serve specific analytical needs—think sales performance, customer behavior, or financial reporting.

As developers, we love to build. We love solving complex problems with elegant code. What we don't always love is the "other stuff" that comes with shipping a project—like SEO. And let's face it, manually writing a dozen meta tags for every single page is tedious, repetitive, and easy to get wrong. I can't count the number of times I've launched a personal project, shared it on Twitter, and been greeted by a blank, ugly link preview. Why? Because I forgot to add the right Open Graph or Twitter Card tags. It’s a small detail, but it makes your project look unprofessional.

Have you ever wondered if there’s a specific time in the day when your mind, body, and soul are aligned in perfect harmony? A time when spiritual energy is highest, mental clarity is unmatched, and breakthroughs—both divine and intellectual—are waiting to happen? This might sound like spiritual fiction, but what if I told you that: The Qur’an refers to this time as the most “blessed” of all hours. Coincidence? Or is there a deeper, universal pattern at play—one that religion, science, and success have all quietly agreed upon for centuries?

Today we're going to learn about functions - the smallest unit of code reuse in Dart. Functions are like "code modules" that encapsulate reusable logic, making programs more concise and maintainable. A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. In Dart, defining a function requires specifying its return type, name, parameter list, and body. returnType functionName(parameterList) { // Function body (code to execute) return returnValue; // Must match returnType } Return Type: If a function returns a value, specify its type (e.g., int, String). If it doesn't return a value, you can omit the type or specify void. Function Name: Follows camelCase naming convention (starts with lowercase, subsequent words start with uppercase), like calculateSum or printMessage…  ( 9 min )

It started with a YouTube tab open. I was watching the Pragmatic Engineer interview with Kent Beck, and something he said I agreed with: Test driven development (TDD) is a “superpower” when working with AI agents. AI agents can (and do!) introduce regressions. An easy way to ensure this does not happen is to have unit tests for the codebase. Kent Beck - Pragmatic Engineer Podcast I see this time and time again in my own use of AI coding agents. At times they are extremely helpful and get the task done as asked, other times they go off the rails and end up breaking everything. The only tool that I know of to help keep them on track is TDD, the "superpower" Kent Beck talked about during his interview. After watching the interview and noodling on the idea of how to keep agents on track, this …  ( 11 min )

Today we'll be learning about extremely important collection types in Dart. In this lesson, we'll focus on List and Set - powerful tools for managing and manipulating multiple data items efficiently in your programs. A List is the most commonly used collection type in Dart. It's an ordered and allowing duplicates collection of data, similar to arrays in other programming languages. There are several ways to create a List, with these being the most common: Method 1: Using literals (Recommended) void main() { // Create a list of integers List numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; // Create a list of strings List fruits = ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange']; // Create a list with mixed types (not recommended, specify types when possible) List mixed = [1, 'hello', true, 3.14…  ( 10 min )

Lately, whenever I try to use a date picker in a project, I run into two main issues: The default browser feels outdated, inaccessible, and not intuitive enough for modern UIs. External UI libraries often come with bloated bundle sizes and tightly coupled components, making my app unnecessarily heavy. While working on a project at my company, I needed a simple, flexible, and lightweight date picker that could be styled easily — and nothing quite fit. So, I built Byte-DatePicker. ✨ Introducing Byte-DatePicker Byte-DatePicker is a reusable React component library tailored for date selection in forms and dashboards. Written in TypeScript, It allows full date selection (day, month, year) and ships with smooth animations, responsive layout, and minimal styling — making it easy to plug i…  ( 6 min )

Title: The Mind-Bending Reality of the Self: How Our Brain Creates Our Identity Have you ever wondered if the "you" you feel so certain about is just an illusion? In her groundbreaking book, "The Self Illusion: How the Brain Creates the Mind," author Annaka Harris argues that our brain's constant dialogue with the world creates a shifting process, not a fixed identity. This means that our choices, memories, and place in nature are all shaped by our brain's perception of the world around us. Harris's discovery challenges our traditional notions of self and identity, and forces us to rethink how we see ourselves in the world. She argues that our brain's default mode, which is responsible for our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions, is constantly in a state of flux. This means that our sens…  ( 6 min )

📊 Part 2: After building the data collection tool, I had my neatly packed .npz and .mp4 files. But then came the real question: "Now that I’ve collected the data, how do I make sense of it?" So I set out to build a set of tools that would help me not just review the data — but actually understand it. What came out of that is something I’m really proud of. This tool is all about feeling the data, one sample at a time. The desktop GUI is built with Tkinter and designed to make browsing, filtering, and understanding each entry as intuitive as flipping through photos. Use Prev/Next buttons (or arrow keys) to flip through samples. Apply filters for phases and keys — e.g., only show 'press' events where 'd' was active. It even includes broken or empty samples if you want — great for debugging.…  ( 9 min )

What is @preconcurrency? @preconcurrency is a Swift attribute that was introduced in Swift 5.5 alongside the major concurrency overhaul that brought us async/await, actors, and structured concurrency. It was added specifically to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of adopting modern concurrency: how do you use Swift's new concurrent features when most of your existing code and dependencies weren't designed with these strict safety rules in mind? The attribute serves as a compatibility bridge, allowing developers to gradually migrate to Swift's concurrency model without having to rewrite everything at once or deal with an overwhelming number of compiler warnings. When Swift 5.5 introduced structured concurrency, it came with strict rules about what types can safely cross concurrency bounda…  ( 7 min )

Over four days. That’s how long I spent trying to get the internal speakers on my Samsung Galaxy Book2 (NT950XDA) to produce a single sound after switching from Windows to Ubuntu. And I wasn’t alone.

🔑 Token-based authentication has become the standard for modern web applications and APIs. If you've ever wondered why we need both access tokens and refresh tokens, or how they work together to create secure, scalable authentication systems, this article will break it down for you. Token-based authentication is a stateless approach to user authentication where the server generates a cryptographically signed token after successful login. This token contains encoded user information and is sent with every subsequent request to prove the user's identity. Traditional session-based authentication relies on server-side storage: 👤 User logs in → 🖥️ Server creates a session → 🍪 Session ID stored in cookie 📨 Each request includes the session ID → 🔍 Server looks up session data 💾 Requires se…  ( 9 min )

OpenAI's decision to halt Google indexing for ChatGPT highlights the critical balance between user privacy and AI innovation. OpenAI has recently made a significant change to its ChatGPT platform by discontinuing the option for users to have their chats indexed by Google and other search engines. This decision comes in response to user backlash concerning privacy and data security, raising important questions about the implications of AI interactions in the digital landscape. Initially, OpenAI introduced the indexing option to enhance the visibility of user interactions with ChatGPT, allowing users to share insights or information gleaned from their conversations. However, this feature quickly became a point of contention. Users expressed concerns that their private discussions could be in…  ( 7 min )

At RecomendeMe, we believe a single recommendation can change your day — or even how you see the world. This idea inspired the creation of our Cultural Feed, a new way to showcase recommendations for movies, books, music, podcasts, events, or any cultural expression that makes sense for each person. When I first designed RecomendeMe, I noticed that most recommendation platforms treat content as generic — buried in endless lists or algorithmic carousels. I wanted the opposite: every cultural recommendation should stand out like a magazine cover, not get lost in the noise. The Cultural Feed is the dynamic heart of RecomendeMe. Each recommendation has its own space, like a feature cover. The design highlights cover images, short synopses, and direct links to streaming platforms, bookstores, or playlists. The feed is personalized based on each user’s tastes and interactions — the more you like, recommend, and explore, the more relevant your feed becomes. From a technical perspective: Backend: We use PHP and MySQL to manage tables for recommendations, users, likes, and comments. Frontend: We built the feed with HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript to deliver a fast, responsive experience on both desktop and mobile. Each recommendation is fetched dynamically based on interest filters (e.g., genre, preferred platform, interaction history). Unlike generic feeds, here every item is treated as a highlight. When a user shares a movie, book, or album, it doesn’t disappear into the void — it gets real visibility, and can even become a trend within the community. If you’d like to learn more, share thoughts, or even contribute: let’s connect! 🌐 RecomendeMe — where every recommendation counts.  ( 6 min )

Almost a year passed before I began developing the plugin to improve the security of Infrastructure as Code files. Many rules were implemented, especially for Docker and Dockerfiles, and many lessons were learned. This week, I found new energy to begin delivering the next milestone in the plugin’s lifecycle. I started implementing Kubernetes rules to align with the NSA Kubernetes Hardening Guide. I have always postponed implementing rules to analyze YAML files because it was struggling boring. There wasn’t an API to implement it easily – just brutal PSI analyze. I thought so, but then I found useful classes and methods in the YAML plugin and wrote a simple YAML-path engine to find elements in the text more comfortable. This approach helps me rewrite some smell parts in Docker Compose analy…  ( 7 min )

This article is inspired by the article from 2024 and raises again concerns about the safety of downloading packages from public repositories without additional controls. The pypi.org allows packages to be removed by author and package name, making them publicly available for registration by anyone.

In this post, I’ll show you how to use ESLint and Prettier in a Nuxt 4 project, step by step. Follow the @nuxt/eslint documentation if you want more details. Run this command in your project: npx nuxi module add eslint If you’re using TypeScript, make sure to install it too: npm install -D typescript After this, you’ll see: The @nuxt/eslint module added in your nuxt.config.ts. A new eslint.config.mjs file generated for you. // @ts-check import withNuxt from './.nuxt/eslint.config.mjs' export default withNuxt( // Add your custom ESLint config here ) Install the dependencies: npm install -D prettier eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-prettier Create a .prettierrc file at the root of your project. Example config: { "semi": false, "singleQuote": true, "tabWidth": 2, "trailingComma": "none", "printWidth": 100 } Then update your eslint.config.mjs to use the Prettier plugin: // @ts-check import withNuxt from './.nuxt/eslint.config.mjs' import eslintPluginPrettierRecommended from 'eslint-plugin-prettier/recommended' export default withNuxt([eslintPluginPrettierRecommended]) Add some scripts in your package.json to make it easy to lint and format your code with one command. { "scripts": { "lint": "eslint .", "lint:fix": "eslint . --fix", "format": "prettier --check .", "format:fix": "prettier --write ." } } To make ESLint and Prettier work properly, set up your editor (like VS Code) with the right settings. Install the ESLint and Prettier extensions, and enable format on save to keep your files clean automatically. If you’re using VS Code, you can create a .vscode/settings.json file like this: { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", "editor.formatOnSave": true } Now your Nuxt 4 project has ESLint and Prettier to keep your code clean and consistent.

The first lesson on Javascript30 is building a drum kit, its a really fun project, here's a summary of how it works. First we need to created nine(9) divs to represent all the sounds present. The sounds are all different, each div represents a sound, to actually play the sound we need to create 9 audio elements. One important thing in the div elements is the addition of custom attribute using the 'data-' attribute . In this project we added the KeyboardEvent.code value of every letter as an attribute to it. After creating the all HTML elements and styling with CSS, the major task is the functionality: for the Javascript code, three(3) main functions are needed: The first function is the playsound function. The second is the addTransition function. Then the removeTransition function. The playSound function will be a callback function in the keydown event listener. The addTransition function adds the class "playing" to any div that was clicked to give it that nice quick bouncy transition. The removeTransition function as the name states removes the transition on any clicked element by removing the class "playing". Its passed as a callback function to the "transitionend" event listener. After creating all three(3) functions we'll create the keydown event which calls the playsound function . that's all guys, you've successfully created a drumkit. wesbos for creating such an amazing resource. javascript30 to join me in sharpening your javascript skills. ✌️  ( 6 min )

Background: The Rise of “Context Engineering” Recently, Vibe Coding has been gaining traction, popularizing a development experience centered around AI assistants. In this workflow, it's common to consolidate prompt instructions and development guidelines into a CLAUDE.md or similar file, which is then read by the AI model. As a result, feeding information effectively to AI has become increasingly important. A new concept called Context Engineering is emerging as a successor to Prompt Engineering: However, this approach has its challenges.

Tomorrow I’ll jump right back into the grind. 🙌 Thanks for sticking with me! **Jonathan (0xj0n1)  ( 5 min )

Have you ever found yourself knee‑deep in a JavaScript app, following a trail of require() calls like breadcrumbs to figure out how everything fits together? One module imports another, that module reaches for a global, and before long you’re chasing references across half your codebase just to test a single component. It’s like cooking a dish where every ingredient is hidden in a different cupboard—you waste half your time hunting instead of actually cooking. That’s precisely the problem dependency injection tries to solve: instead of each class foraging for its own ingredients, you tell a central kitchen what you need, and it hands you the ingredients on a silver platter. The idea isn’t new. In fact, languages like Java and C# bake dependency injection (DI) into their frameworks. Service…  ( 9 min )

Когато сте въвеждали текст на български език ползвайки кирилска клавиатурна подредба като БДС или фонетична, то навярно сте забелязали, че с тези подредби не може да се въвеждат някои символи като квадратни и къдрави скоби ([] и {}). Разбира се това не е пречка да се ползват кирилските клавиатурни подредби. Неудобство е обаче, ако искате да програмирате на JavaScript ползвайки подобна подредба. Някои биха отбелязали, че не само липсата на квадратни и къдрави скоби би представлявала трудност да се програмира на JavaScript ползвайки Кирилица. Всички ключови думи в този език като function и var са на английски и изискват латински букви за въвеждането им.

As Verizon raises fees again, customers face new challenges in an already strained financial landscape. Verizon Communications Inc. has announced yet another increase in its customer fees, raising concerns among subscribers who may already be feeling the financial strain of rising costs in various sectors. This fee hike comes despite the company’s previous commitment to a three-year price lock announced in April 2023, which was intended to provide customers with some stability in their billing. As reported, the majority of Verizon customers will see an increase of less than 30 cents, but the implications of this decision extend beyond mere cents and into the broader context of customer satisfaction and market competition in the telecommunications industry.

Yesterday, I shared a simple tool called Laravel Kickstart — a plain PHP file (configure.php) designed to help you spin up a new Laravel project quickly. It was a good start, but as I worked with it further, I realised something: while the idea worked, maintaining and extending it in plain PHP wasn’t going to scale well. So today, I’m excited to introduce the next step forward: KickOff — a fully‑fledge package! The transition wasn’t just a name change. KickOff represents a shift from a quick script to a structured, maintainable solution built for the long run. Yesterday’s Version Today’s Version Single plain PHP file (configure.php) Proper Laravel package structure Quick but hard to maintain Clean, modular, and extendable Manual adjustments needed Composer‑ready for easy installation Good for prototypes Ready for serious projects By refactoring the code into a package, it makes the code: Cleaner Codebase: Built using Symfony’s package conventions. Composer Support: Installable and autoloaded without hassle. Extensibility: Room to add more features like commands, config options, or integration hooks. Community Ready: Easier to share, collaborate on, and contribute to. The source code is now available here: https://github.com/cleaniquecoders/kickoff Installation and usage instructions are included in the repository. I’m planning to onboard some of setup from my Project Template. KickOff is all about giving your next Laravel project a smoother, more confident start — without the headache of maintaining messy setup scripts. If you tried the earlier version, I’d love for you to give KickOff a spin and share your thoughts!  ( 8 min )

The art of the soft launch is a welcome alternative to the hype and instant gratification of a world that too often is obsessed with new products, and services or even ideas. It is an approach that thrives on the understated, which gives the possibility of sharpening, evolving and creating a sense of anticipation that is natural as opposed to a single event and eventuality. A successful soft launch is anything but a happy accident or a low-key start, it is a carefully calculated move, aiming to make a splash and reduce the risks that the big reveal will cause. What is the Spirit of Soft Launching: Slow Reveal In essence, soft launching means offering something new to a modest number of people or in a very limited capacity before a complete, wide-ranging release to the general population.

As I continue my journey to become a better software craftsman, two insights from Martin Fowler and Uncle Bob stand out: Martin Fowler (Refactoring) "Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand." Code is a shared language.

Uncle Bob (Clean Code) "The only valid measurement of code quality is how easily it can be understood and changed." Clean code isn’t just functional, it’s adaptable.

Their principles echo McConnell’s advice, writing code is half the job; crafting clear, human-friendly software is what makes us true cr…  ( 8 min )

Unlocking the Power of Backend Development with Rust and Go: Insights from Web Developer Travis McCracken Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts! I’m Travis McCracken, a passionate web developer specializing in backend systems. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to explore various programming languages and frameworks, but recently, Rust and Go have emerged as my top contenders for building robust, high-performance APIs and backend services. Today, I want to share some insights into how these powerful languages are transforming backend development—and introduce you to some of my recent projects (though I must admit they’re a bit fictional for now), like ‘fastjson-api’ and ‘rust-cache-server’. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, I hope this article sheds light on the imme…  ( 7 min )

I was recently tasked with writing tests for a large-scale production codebase serving over 2.1 million users. During my conversation with the lead engineer he mentioned something that stood out: “One of our biggest pain points is our test setup.” That conversation made me realize, that the approach I’ve been using might actually be more useful than I thought. This post walks through that setup. We mostly use PostgreSQL in production and write functional or integration tests, which means no database mocking. In the past, we relied on Testcontainers, to spin up real Postgres instances, but that approach was, slow and heavy.

Managing who can do what in an application is a fundamental challenge for developers. As your app becomes more complex and your user base grows, manually assigning permissions to every user becomes unmanageable and error-prone. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) solves this by grouping permissions into roles and assigning roles to users. RBAC is one of the most widely used access control models. It enforces the principle of least privilege, simplifies admin tasks, and improves auditability. But "RBAC" isn't a single, monolithic concept. It's a spectrum of models, each suited for different needs. Choosing the right one is critical for building a secure and scalable application. What we'll cover RBAC Foundations: Core concepts and structure Hierarchical RBAC: Role inheritance and org charts …  ( 8 min )

CodeBoarding CodeBoarding is an open-source codebase analysis tool that turns large codebases into interactive, high-level diagram representations—so both humans and soon agents can understand them. Designed for onboarding, documentation, and system comprehension, CodeBoarding uses static analysis and LLM agents to map out your project’s structure, then turns that into diagrams you can embed in your docs, IDE, or CI pipeline. When I started programming, I remember spending hours drawing up diagrams for codebases just to understand the repo. Years later - I still find diagrams the best way to get a mindmap before diving into new code. So I built this (fully free) open-source project to generate those diagrams automatically. It summarizes repositories into simple, visual representations that you can explore at different levels of abstraction. Hope this helps. Please try it out and let me know what you think. Run CodeBoarding on your own repo: 🌐 www.codeboarding.org/demo Source code: 📄 www.github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding Control Flow Graph Extraction It starts with static analysis—extracting modules and their relationships based on control flow, not just import graphs. Multi-level Abstraction via LLMs CodeBoarding uses an LLM agent (provider-agnostic) to organize these into conceptual modules, abstractions, and summaries. Diagram Generation Outputs are rendered as Mermaid.js diagrams—interactive and embeddable in docs, IDEs, and web interfaces. MCP Integration (in progress) The generated representation can be served via a lightweight MCP server, allowing AI devtools (e.g., ClaudeCode, Cursor, VSCode agents) to query context-aware summaries and structure. Next steps Support more languages: Support for additional static-analysis friendly languages (e.g., Go, TypeScript, C++) is on the roadmap. Feedback on which to prioritize is very welcome! MCP Server: An MCP server is under development to allow your dev agents to use the overview for improved codebase indexing.  ( 6 min )

This week, I did something that felt both exciting and intimidating. I integrated a payment gateway into one of my backend APIs for the very first time, even if it was just in test mode. 🙈💳 Now, I’ve created APIs before, like user authentication, CRUD operations, and more. But this time? I wanted my API to handle actual payments and that felt like stepping into a new territory. I’ve been working on an API where learners can register for a course track. I already had the backend logic for signing up, viewing courses, and assigning users to tracks.

Hello, Dev Community! For the past couple of months, I've been on an incredible journey building something I'm truly passionate about. Today, I'm thrilled to take the first major step in sharing it with all of you. I'm talking about Project KARL (Kotlin Adaptive Reasoning Learner). What is KARL? Project KARL is an open-source library, built entirely in Kotlin, designed to create on-device, adaptive AI models. Instead of sending your data to the cloud to be processed, KARL learns and adapts exclusively on the user's device. It starts as a blank slate and becomes uniquely tailored to an individual's behavior over time. It's built on a few core principles: Action is Always Preceded by Learning In the spirit of that motto, I'm taking a docs-first approach to this release. I believe that for a project with a new architectural pattern to be truly understood and adopted, the concepts and guidelines must be clear from day one. Before you dive into the code, I want you to have the complete map. Today, I am officially releasing the complete documentation for Project KARL. This includes everything from high-level introductions and core concepts to detailed integration guides, API overviews, and contributor information. It’s the blueprint for the entire project. → Explore the Official KARL Documentation Here: KARL DOCS ↗ With the documentation now public, you can learn, explore, and understand the vision. The next step is action. The official open-source repository for Project KARL will be made public soon. On that day, you'll have access to the full source code for all the core modules, implementations, and the example desktop application that brings it all to life. The initial release will be an alpha version, a solid foundation ready for feedback, experimentation, and community contribution. It's the start of a journey, and I'm incredibly excited to build it in the open with all of you. So, take some time to read through the docs. Understand the "why" and the "how." And get ready to dive into the code. AR  ( 6 min )

This article answers the question: how to learn anything with neural networks without putting effort into writing prompts. At some point, the thought came to me that with the advent of neural networks, books have become obsolete. The "books" of the future are specially encoded knowledge inside neural networks. Learning should happen through dialogue with neural networks. In practice, it turned out that following such advice is quite difficult. Yes, you can go to a neural network and say "teach me calculus." The problem is that few people know how to ask the right questions. And those who do know understand that it's not simple in itself. The second problem is that a neural network is an assistant and advisor, but not a demanding teacher. It won't push you to expand your horizons. And as a…  ( 21 min )

Lessons from deep-diving JavaScript DOM with Satt Academy(website) 1. Node vs. Element: The Silent Speed Drain Code:- // Slow path (12% slower) const slow = parent.childNodes; // Grabs text & comment nodes // Fast path const fast = parent.children; // Only elements! Why care? 2. Live vs. Static Collections Code:- // Performance killer (live) const heavy = document.getElementsByClassName('item'); // Optimized path (static) const light = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.item')); 📉 Result: Live HTMLCollections cause up to 40% more browser reflows than static NodeLists — meaning slower, laggier pages. 3. Content Security Matrix innerHTML ❌ Not safe Slow Injecting trusted HTML textContent ✅ Safe Fast User-generated content createElement ✅ Safest Fastest Complex UI building ________________________________________ 4 Performance Optimization Should Use Event Delegation Code:- // 1 listener instead of 100 → Saves ~75% memory! parent.addEventListener('click', e => { if (e.target.classList.contains('btn')) handleClick(); }); Animation Mastery NodeList → Array Magic Code:- // NodeList looks like an array but isn’t const nodeList = document.querySelectorAll('.item'); // Convert for full array power const realArray = [...nodeList]; realArray.map(item => item.classList.add('processed')); Insights: 10,000+ Items? Virtualize! This simple step helps you write cleaner, faster, and more secure DOM manipulation code.  ( 6 min )

In the realm of React development, optimizing performance is a crucial aspect that developers constantly strive to enhance. One powerful tool in the React developer's arsenal is the useCallback hook, which plays a significant role in improving the efficiency of functional components. Let's delve into the intricacies of useCallback and how it can be utilized to boost performance. At its core, the useCallback hook in React is designed to memoize functions, ensuring that they are only re-created when their dependencies change. This can be particularly beneficial in scenarios where functions are passed down to child components, as it helps prevent unnecessary re-renders. const memoizedCallback = useCallback(() => { // Function logic here }, [dependency1, dependency2]); By specifying the dep…  ( 7 min )

Let's be honest - we all know that AI is evolving at an insanely fast pace. Earlier, it was just about writing specific prompts and getting basic outputs. But now, we have multiple advanced LLMs that are way more capable - they can even solve problems from the world's toughest exams like the JEE Advanced, USMLE, Bar, SAT, and more. What's even more interesting is the rise of AI agents - tools that can plan, reason, and complete multi-step tasks from start to finish. I can say that this is the beginning of a new era where agents can automate most of your time-consuming, repetitive work. And let's not forget prompt engineering, which has now become more like context engineering. Today's LLMs can write production-level code, debug it, and even help launch full-stack apps - all in minutes with…  ( 8 min )

As developers, we often build amazing tools, apps, or side projects — but getting traction is a whole different story. If you’ve ever wondered how to get more eyes on your project, digital marketing might be the missing link. Here’s how you can get started without becoming a full-time marketer. You wouldn’t build a product without user research, right? Apply the same mindset to marketing. Define: Who your product is for What problems it solves Where your audience hangs out online SEO (Search Engine Optimization) isn't just for bloggers. If your project has a landing page or blog: Use simple keyword research tools to find what people are searching for Optimize your content (titles, headings, meta descriptions) Create helpful blog content related to your app or tool If you're documenting your process, writing tutorials, or sharing case studies, you’re already doing content marketing. Use platforms like: Dev.to (yes, just like this!) Medium Your own blog Make sure to: Add internal links Include clear CTAs (call-to-actions), like joining your email list or trying the product Google still loves good backlinks. Writing helpful content (like this) and contributing to relevant conversations online can naturally earn links over time. 💡 I recently published a guide on best digital marketing resources website. If you'd like to learn more about digital marketing, feel free to check it out. Use tools like: Buffer or Hootsuite for social media Google Analytics for performance tracking Mailchimp or Buttondown for newsletters You don’t need to be a “marketer” to market your product. Just apply your developer mindset to experimentation, iteration, and measurement. Have you tried marketing your side project? What worked (or didn’t)?

Remote teams are growing, and so is the need for better communication across cultures. With teams spread across different countries, time zones, and native languages, understanding how languages interact is not just an academic topic—it’s practical and urgent. This is where the idea of cross linguistic connections becomes more than a linguistic curiosity; it becomes a tool for better collaboration, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger team culture. Cross-linguistic connections refer to the ways languages influence one another—whether through vocabulary, structure, pronunciation, or meaning. This can happen between individual speakers (like bilingual team members), or across wider cultural interactions. Think of it like this: if you've ever tried learning a new language and found that some…  ( 7 min )

Event bubbling is a fundamental concept in JavaScript that every web developer should master. It can make or break your event-driven applications if not handled properly. In this post, we'll dive into what event bubbling is, how it works, and how to control it using stopPropagation(). Let’s get started! In JavaScript, when an event (like a click) occurs on a nested DOM element, it doesn’t just trigger the event listener on that element—it bubbles up through its parent elements, triggering their listeners too. This behavior is called event bubbling. For example, if you have a div containing a ul with an li inside it, clicking the li could trigger event listeners on the li, ul, and div. This can lead to unexpected behavior if not managed correctly. Let’s look at a practical example to see ev…  ( 6 min )

Today I've learned that systemd, actually, supports hard reboots. systemctl reboot --force --force From the man page: If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed. This is the closest equivalent of echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger I can find.  ( 5 min )

When you open a file in Linux, you're seeing just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface is a structure called an inode—and understanding how it works is the key to making sense of hard links, soft links, and what really happens when you rename or delete a file. An inode is a hidden record in the Linux file system that stores everything about a file except its name. It holds details like: Where the file’s content lives on the disk The file’s size and timestamps Ownership and permissions Each file has a unique inode number. Think of it as the file’s true identity. The name you see in a folder is just a label that points to it. Creating a hard link is like putting a second label on the same package. Both names point to the same inode. That means they’re actually the same file. If…  ( 6 min )

What is Race Condition Imagine that you are planning to go to a movie at 5 pm. You inquire about the availability of the tickets at 4 pm. The representative says that they are available. You relax and reach the ticket window 30 minutes later, but then to your horror all the tickets get sold. The problem here was in the duration between the check and the action. You inquired at 4 and acted at 4:30. In the meantime, someone else grabbed the tickets. That's a race condition. Technically speaking, Race condition occurs when multiple threads read and write the same variable i.e. they have access to some shared data and they try to change it at the same time. In such a scenario threads are “racing” each other to access/change the data. This is a major security vulnerability where an attacker c…  ( 16 min )

When writing Unit or Feature tests in Laravel, one of the most effective ways to keep your tests clean and easy to follow is by using the AAA pattern. AAA stands for: Arrange : Set up your data and dependencies Act : Execute the behavior or function you want to test Assert : Verify that the result matches your expectations This structure makes your tests: Easier to read Easier to maintain Easier to debug It helps you avoid writing "messy" tests where setup, execution, and assertions are all mixed together. By clearly separating the 3 phases of testing, you're more likely to catch bugs early, understand what each test is doing at a glance, and maintain consistency across your codebase. Here’s a simple Feature Test example following the AAA pattern: public function test_run_todo_show(): void { // Arrange $todo = Todo::factory()->create(); // Act $response = $this->get("/todos/{$todo->id}"); // Assert $response->assertStatus(200); $response->assertViewIs('todos.show'); $response->assertSee($todo->title); } The AAA pattern stands for Arrange, Act, Assert. It separates test setup, execution, and verification for clarity and maintainability. This structure improves readability, consistency, and debugging.  ( 5 min )

Neural networks are a cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence (AI), enabling machines to perform tasks such as recognizing images, understanding speech, and making decisions. Inspired by the structure and function of the human brain, neural networks consist of interconnected nodes, or "neurons," that process information and learn from data. This article explores the mechanisms behind neural networks, explaining their structure, how they process data, and how they learn, with a focus on making these concepts accessible to a general audience. Weights: Each input is assigned a weight, a numerical value that determines its importance. Weights can be positive (amplifying the input) or negative (diminishing it). Mathematically, the output of a neuron is expressed as: ( x_1 ): Is it a weeke…  ( 10 min )

YAML (Yet Another Markup Language or YAML Ain’t Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization standard that’s commonly used for configuration files, data exchange, and storing structured data. It’s designed to be easy to read and write, making it popular for DevOps, applications configuration, and data representation. Let’s see how the same data looks in different formats: John Doe 30 Python JavaScript { "person": { "name": "John Doe", "age": 30, "languages": ["Python", "JavaScript"] } } person: name: John Doe age: 30 languages: - Python - JavaScript As you can see, YAML is much cleaner and easier to read! …  ( 8 min )

Preface As a senior front-end developer in the Web2 world, I am transitioning into web3 recently. Although I have heard many times about blockchain, wallet, decentralization etc. frankly, I only had a surface-level understanding before. Now, I have learned these foundational concepts: decentralization, ledger, wallet, blocks, pow, pos, nodes, Transactions. In the web2 world, we rely on centralized applications or systems. For instance: Whats app, Github store all data stored on centralized servers. Decentralization means there is no single point of control. In the web3 World every node can validate, record and propagate data. No centralized server has exclusive control; instead, consensus mechanisms define all data and rules. As result, I realized that decentralization is not only techni…  ( 9 min )

This is a very common scenario on Arch Linux, especially if you're not using a full-featured desktop environment like GNOME or KDE Plasma. On Arch, the philosophy is to provide the user with a minimal system and let them build it up with the components they want. The volume OSD (on-screen display) is not a core part of the system; it's a feature of your desktop environment or a separate utility you need to install and configure. Here's a breakdown of why this happens and how to fix it, depending on your setup: If you're using a window manager instead of a full desktop environment, the volume keys on your keyboard are likely not configured to do anything by default, or they are only configured to change the volume without sending a notification. Solution: Install and configure a volume noti…  ( 7 min )

Introduction Have you ever found yourself writing the same object instantiation logic over and over again — just to get similar copies with minor differences? The Prototype Design Pattern solves this by letting you clone existing objects instead of creating new ones from scratch. It's like photocopying a document instead of writing it all over again. The Prototype Pattern is a creational design pattern. It allows you to create new objects by copying an existing object (prototype), instead of building one using a constructor. ✅ Ideal when object creation is costly (due to time, complexity, or resource usage), or when you need many similar objects with small variations. Imagine a resume builder website. You create your resume layout, style, and sections once, and then clone it to generate …  ( 8 min )

Let’s be honest — most teams say they follow Scrum, but in reality, it's Scrum-ish at best. Stand-ups turn into status reports, sprints feel like marathons, and retros?

Goal: 1,000,000 signatures by October 2025. The danger lies in the fact that the benefits of digitalization (convenience) are immediately obvious in the short term, while the disadvantages (loss of control, surveillance, vulnerability) manifest gradually and possibly irreversibly. A society that carelessly gives up its freedom for a little more comfort might one day discover that it has lost both. Cash is more than just paper and metal; it is a cornerstone of personal freedom, privacy, and economic resilience. Yet, this fundamental tool is under a quiet but relentless attack. While few politicians openly call for an outright ban, a gradual, systemic phasing-out is underway. This process, driven by technological convenience and political interests, is rapidly accelerating and threatens to c…  ( 9 min )

What is a Constructor in Java? A constructor is a special method that is used to initialize objects in Java. It has the same name as the class and does not have a return type—not even void. Called automatically when an object is created. Can be overloaded (just like methods). Used to assign initial values to object properties. class Car { String model; // Constructor Car(String m) { model = m; } } In the above example, when you create a Car object with new Car("Toyota"), the constructor sets the model. Method overloading allows a class to have more than one method with the same name, but different parameter lists (type or number of parameters). Increases readability of the program. Compiler determines which method to call based on arguments. Return type can be different, but it’s not enough to overload a method just by changing the return type. class Calculator { int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } double add(double a, double b) { return a + b; } int add(int a, int b, int c) { return a + b + c; } } Here, the method add is overloaded three times with different parameter combinations. Just like methods, constructors can also be overloaded to provide different ways to initialize an object. class Student { String name; int age; Student() { name = "Unknown"; age = 0; } Student(String n, int a) { name = n; age = a; } } This allows flexibility: you can create a student with default values or provide specific values. For more detailed information, always refer to the official Java documentation: Java Language Specification – Constructors Java Tutorials – Overloading Methods  ( 6 min )

Full blog post: How NISTIR 8286 Connects Cybersecurity and Business Risk Most companies manage cybersecurity separately from other business risks. But that’s a problem — because tech failures can have real business impact. NISTIR 8286 solves this by helping teams connect cyber risks with enterprise risk management (ERM). This makes sure everyone — from IT to executives — is on the same page. NISTIR 8286 is a guide from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It shows how to include cybersecurity threats in broader risk plans. Instead of handling cyber risks in isolation, you link them to goals like uptime, customer trust, legal compliance, and revenue protection. 📄 Read the full NISTIR 8286 PDF With NISTIR 8286, teams can: Describe risks in clear, business-friendly terms Log c…  ( 6 min )

Original post: How NISTIR 8286 Connects Cybersecurity and Business Risk Most teams track bugs. Some track performance. But few track cyber risks in a way that connects with business goals.

What Is an ARM SBC and Why Is It Ideal for Embedded Design? An ARM SBC (Single Board Computer) is a compact, all-in-one computing module built around an ARM-based processor. Unlike traditional computers that require separate boards for CPU, memory, and storage, an ARM SBC integrates all components onto a single PCB. These boards are widely used in industrial control systems, smart devices, and custom embedded applications due to their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and small footprint. The popularity of ARM-based SBCs is rooted in three key advantages: low power consumption, compact size, and affordability.

Not everyone wants to log into a website using a basic email and password form. Sometimes it’s due to a lack of trust, and other times, just pure convenience. That’s why many websites now offer OAuth2 login options—reducing the cognitive load of remembering passwords and adding an extra layer of trust via a known provider. I recently implemented GitHub OAuth2 login in my N1netails application and wanted to share how I got it working. N1netails is built using the JASP stack (Java, Angular, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL). Okay, I made up the acronym, but you get the idea. Spring Boot greatly simplifies OAuth2 integration—it handles most of the "magic" behind the scenes.

Progressive Web App (PWA) vs Native: Which Wins for ROI in 2025? Most people think “native is always better,” but here’s what really happens: teams spend 2x the budget building iOS and Android separately, launch six months late, and then discover 71% of users bounce before the second screen because the onboarding is bloated and the app’s buried behind a store login. Meanwhile, a lean competitor ships a PWA in 8 weeks, starts ranking on Google, and quietly eats your mobile traffic. Painful? Yep. Fixable? Absolutely. But here’s where it gets interesting... If you’re chasing install vanity metrics, go native. If you’re chasing compounding ROI—lower CAC, faster iteration, and revenue per user—PWAs deserve a serious look in 2025.

In this problem, we're given two baskets of fruits, each represented by a list of integers where each integer denotes the cost of a fruit. Our goal is to make the two baskets identical (after sorting) by swapping elements between them. Each swap costs the minimum of the two values being swapped. The objective is to perform the swaps at the minimum total cost, or return -1 if it's impossible. Given two arrays basket1 and basket2 of equal length, each containing the cost of fruits, return the minimum total cost to make the baskets identical through any number of swaps. If it's not possible, return -1. To solve the problem: Sort both arrays. This helps in aligning and comparing values easily. Use two pointers to walk through both sorted arrays.

Part 1 – Implementation: Creating Materialized View with FAST REFRESH To enable FAST REFRESH in a materialized view, Oracle requires the existence of a Materialized View Log (MV log) on the base table. This log records the row-level changes (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) that occur after the materialized view is created. First, create the MV log using the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command on the base table, including primary key or rowid for tracking. Then, define the materialized view with REFRESH FAST option and link it to the base table. You can also schedule the refresh using START WITH and NEXT clauses or run it manually. The materialized view captures only the delta changes using the MV log and avoids full-table scans. Fast refresh reduces system overhead and improves performance. It’s …  ( 6 min )

These shared conversations included personal content relating to mental health, career concerns, legal issues, and more, without any indication of a data breach. Instead, the exposure resulted from a now-removed feature that enabled discoverability via search indexing.  Most users assume that interactions with LLMs are private by default. While that holds true for standard sessions, many platforms include features that allow sharing of chats via public URLs. ChatGPT Shared links: The app introduced a ‘Make this chat discoverable’ option for use…  ( 7 min )

"Oops, I gave full admin access to everyone... by mistake!" — said every beginner before learning IAM properly. Let’s make sure that’s not you. 🙌 IAM (Identity and Access Management) is the security gatekeeper of AWS. It controls who can access what, and what they can do once they’re in. Real-life analogy: IAM is like the security and ID system of an office building. Some people get access to every floor (admins), some can only enter their department (developers), and some are just visiting (temporary roles). If you're building anything on AWS, IAM is the first thing you should understand. Users – "The Employees" An IAM user is a real person (like you or your teammate). You create one for each human who needs access. Can log in with a username and password Can have API access via access…  ( 7 min )

Part 1 – Implementation: Creating Materialized View with FAST REFRESH To enable FAST REFRESH in a materialized view, Oracle requires the existence of a Materialized View Log (MV log) on the base table. This log records the row-level changes (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) that occur after the materialized view is created. First, create the MV log using the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command on the base table, including primary key or rowid for tracking. Then, define the materialized view with REFRESH FAST option and link it to the base table. You can also schedule the refresh using START WITH and NEXT clauses or run it manually. The materialized view captures only the delta changes using the MV log and avoids full-table scans. Fast refresh reduces system overhead and improves performance. It’s …  ( 8 min )

now, we will start learning Dart. Dart is the foundation of Flutter, and if you want to develop apps using Flutter, you must learn Dart. Currently, Flutter can be regarded as the best cross-platform development method. Here, I recommend using the website DartPad directly to run Dart code. The URL is dartpad.dev, and for users in China, you can use dartpad.cn. the most fundamental and core part of Dart programming — variables and data types. If we compare a program to a building, variables are like the bricks, and data types are the material specifications of those bricks. Mastering the content of this section will lay a solid foundation for our subsequent Dart learning. In Dart, variables are like labeled boxes used to store various types of data. There are three ways to declare variables,…  ( 9 min )

Decoding K-Nearest Neighbors: A Journey into the Heart of Machine Learning Imagine you're planning a party, and you want to invite guests who are similar to your existing friends. You might consider their age, interests, and even their favorite ice cream flavors. This intuitive process of finding "like-minded" individuals is the core idea behind the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, a fundamental concept in machine learning. KNN is a powerful, versatile, and surprisingly simple algorithm used for both classification and regression tasks. This article will unravel its mysteries, exploring its underlying mechanics, practical applications, and potential limitations. KNN is a non-parametric, lazy learning algorithm. "Non-parametric" means it doesn't assume any underlying distribution of t…  ( 9 min )

By Luis — a developer who believes that tools should respect how we think, not just how fast we code. The interface is powerful, yes. But for many, it feels like stepping into a cathedral of features, with no clear path to the altar. You might come from Turbo Pascal, VB6, or even Excel macros. You might be self-taught, curious, or nostalgic for the days when code was simple and elegant. This post is for you. 🧭 Visual Studio: Not a Labyrinth, but a Map Let’s reframe it: You don’t need to know Azure to start. You don’t need to understand Git workflows to write your first line. You don’t need to feel like an imposter because you prefer clarity over complexity. Visual Studio can be your tool — not your test. 🪜 A Gentle Path to Getting Started Start with a Console App No UI, no cloud, no distractions. Just logic and output. File → New → Project → Console App (.NET Core) Write something familiar Maybe a loop. Maybe a Pascal-style for statement. Visual Studio won’t judge your syntax preferences. Explore Intellisense slowly Let it suggest, but don’t let it dictate. You’re still the author. Ignore the panels you don’t need Solution Explorer? Great. Azure DevOps? Maybe later. Celebrate your first build Not because it’s “productive,” but because it’s yours. 🧠 You’re Not Behind — You’re Deep If you’ve spent years thinking about how code should behave, how systems should respect users, how logic should be elegant — you’re not outdated. You’re experienced. Visual Studio can be a partner in that philosophy, if we let it. 🤝 You Belong Here Visual Studio can be your home — not because it’s trendy, but because it’s capable of honoring your style. 💬 Final Thought And if you ever feel lost, remember: the best developers aren’t the ones who know everything — they’re the ones who keep asking better questions.  ( 6 min )

Overview Perplexity (PPL) is a widely used metric for evaluating language models. It measures how well a model predicts text, with lower PPL indicating better predictive performance. You’ll often use PPL when: Comparing different models (e.g., baseline vs. fine-tuned). Evaluating quantization impact on model accuracy. Benchmarking compression or optimization techniques. While the formula is straightforward, implementation mistakes are common—and they can completely invalidate your results. ⚠ Common Pitfall: Truncating Sequences A frequent mistake is splitting your dataset into independent fixed-length chunks without preserving context. Why is this a problem? Language models rely on context continuity. If you break text into isolated sequences, the model cannot leverage precedin…  ( 6 min )

Because we still rule the world you think you’ve conquered — You use Go, unaware it was created by the same minds behind Unix. You use Python, not knowing its creator, Guido van Rossum, is well past 60. You use JavaScript, not realizing Brendan Eich, its creator, is 64 and wrote it in just ten days. You rely on Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite… all designed by minds that don’t fit your pitch decks. You use Git, but forget that Linus Torvalds isn’t an influencer — he’s an architect. We don’t chase likes. We make sure the system doesn’t crash. That the code has intention. That the software respects the user. We’re not obsolete. We’re the ones who still know why it works. And when someone older asks you for a job, consider that they might be the greatest contribution to your project.  ( 5 min )

The Apple 2 (usually written Apple ][) computer was one of the first widely popular home computers. At the time, most home computers came as kits and included no keyboard or text display; you got some switches for input and blinky lights for output, and if you really wanted to spend some cash, you got a teletype machine to go with it. So when Steve Wozniak designed an affordable home computer that actually came with a full keyboard and glowing green screen, people got pretty excited! The first computer in my house was actually a TI-99/4A (on sale for $50 at K-Mart), but we quickly outgrew that, and got an Apple //e, which served us well for years. Recently I found myself feeling a bit nostalgic for that old green screen, and decided to see if I could recapture some of its look and feel …  ( 10 min )

🧩 What Microsoft Lost 🧠 The Pedagogy of Constraint Then: The environment was austere. The compiler unforgiving. Memory was scarce. Every line of code had to justify its existence. Learning to program meant learning to think with precision—not copying recipes. Now: The environment suggests, autocompletes, abstracts. Modern IDEs like Visual Studio and VS Code offer solutions before the problem is even understood. A novice developer can build without comprehension, and the environment shields them from the friction that once taught discipline. What was lost: Friction was formative. Constraint was a teacher. Today, the environment facilitates—but no longer educates. The pedagogy of constraint has been replaced by the comfort of assistance. 🛠️ The Identity of the Programmer Then: The programmer was a craftsman. They knew the compiler, the linker, the debugger. They understood how bits moved, how the stack was managed, how to optimize a loop. Every tool was an extension of their mind. Now: Many are framework assemblers. They copy structures, import dependencies, and trust the ecosystem to resolve everything. Code becomes collage—not composition. What was lost: The programmer’s identity as a technical author. Today, the framework takes center stage—not the thought behind the code. The art has been diluted by convenience. ⚙️ The Honesty of the Compiler Then: The compiler was direct. If something failed, it was your fault. The message was clear, the origin traceable. The debugger took you to the bone—no anesthesia. Now: The modern compiler is wrapped in layers. If something fails, the message points to a dependency, an abstraction, an asynchronous context no one understands. The error is no longer yours—it belongs to the system. What was lost: Technical responsibility. The programmer once faced their errors. Today, errors dissolve into architecture. The compiler no longer teaches—it confuses with elegance.  ( 6 min )

Skyline Queries? Summer is in full swing, the weather outside is hot and sunny. And here I am at my desk, scribbling away while my mind is sipping margaritas in a hotel bar somewhere in the Caribbean. But how do I decide which hotel? Close to the beach? Good reviews? Cheap? Can I find a hotel that's closer to the beach, has better reviews, and is cheaper than all the other hotels? Probably not. But with so many options to choose from, I can eliminate hotels that are worse in every aspect than others. This is the essence of skyline queries: finding the best options in a multi-dimensional problem space (in this case, distance from the beach, prices and reviews). I wrote a quick introduction to skyline queries here, but for those who want something even quicker: We have a set of points in a…  ( 18 min )

The first “free” iOS app threw three ads at me before I could pick a file. A second app asked for $4.99 per month, just to shrink a picture! I ended up opening Preview on my Mac, exporting, tweaking quality sliders, re-sending to my phone, and finally hitting “Submit” with seconds to spare. The whole thing took longer than writing the homework. That night I wrote Crunch, an offline photo compressor that fixes the exact pain I felt. What Crunch does now Shrinks JPEG, HEIC, PNG images by up to 70 %, totally on-device (no uploads) Converts formats so HEIC becomes JPG or PDF in one tap Cleans out location + EXIF data before you share a file Free: 10 photos a day. Pro: one-time $3.99—no subscriptions, ever Try Crunch for iOS now: Crunch on AppStore Follow me on x where I’m sharing progress, mistakes, your feedback will shape the next update—features, pricing, UX, anything. @3nginuity  ( 5 min )

I’ve tried just about every documentation generator out there. Some are great but heavy. Others are flexible but overwhelming. Then I stumbled on docmd, and it was like a breath of fresh air. It’s a tiny, Node.js-based static documentation generator that feels like the spiritual successor to the early days of Jekyll — but with modern DX. And I cannot believe I didn’t find it earlier. npm install -g @mgks/docmd cd docs docmd init docmd build Zero setup: Just run a single command to scaffold Install dependencies: Fast and light Simple config: One file: config.js Markdown-first: No weird templating. Just .md files. Custom JS/CSS supported: Without hacks. SEO + Analytics: Already handled with built-in plugins I created a full-fledged docs site in 2 minutes. The sidebar is just a JS array T…  ( 6 min )

Clean architecture series - Part 1 David Pereira ・ Mar 26 '20 #design #productivity #career #architecture  ( 5 min )

Composite structures have become a popular choice in modern construction due to their lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant properties. From architectural panels to urban fencing systems, composite materials now form the backbone of countless infrastructure projects — but as with any material, wear and degradation still occur. This is where IoT-powered predictive maintenance enters the scene. With smart sensors, cloud systems, and real-time analytics, developers and engineers can now design systems that monitor the health of composite structures, detect anomalies, and predict failures — all before they happen. Although composite fences are low-maintenance by design, they’re not immune to issues like: Micro-cracks from thermal expansion Moisture infiltration in humid environments Stru…  ( 7 min )

I used to constantly ask myself: For a long time, I couldn’t find the balance. I tried time-blocking, productivity tools, late-night hustle… but nothing worked. Eventually, I discovered a simple—but not easy—solution: waking up early. ⸻ ☀️ The Idea Sounds Simple: Wake Up Early I had heard it a hundred times before. But like many, I struggled to go to bed early, which made it nearly impossible to wake up early consistently. For years, I tried and failed. I would stay up late, feeling exhausted the next morning, and miss out on both family time and personal growth. ⸻ 🎯 The Turning Point One day, I told myself: “Just give it a shot—go to bed early tonight and try waking up at 4:37 AM. One day. Just try.” And guess what? That first day, I woke up at 3:38 AM naturally—without an alarm. I stayed up, fully awake. That was the beginning. For 13 days in a row, I maintained this new rhythm. Only once did I fail and fall back asleep. But now, I’d seen the results. ⸻ 🔑 The Key That Solved It All Waking up early gave me: ⸻ 💬 My Message to You If you’re struggling to: … and you’re not required to work at night — give this a chance. 🛌 Sleep early. You might just unlock the version of you that’s been waiting. ⸻ ⏳ Thanks for reading! Have you tried waking up early to code or create? I’d love to hear your story.  ( 6 min )

This article was originally published on Medium. Design patterns aren’t just academic concepts — they’re practical tools that bring structure, clarity, and flexibility to your code. And what better way to learn them than by building a game? In this two-part series, we’re creating a Monster Battle Arena in TypeScript and Node.js, where players summon goblins and dragons, assign them attack strategies, and trigger combat through an interactive terminal. Part 1 focuses on implementing the core gameplay mechanics: A central GameManager to manage game state Adding players to the game Summoning different types of monsters Fighting monsters Logging events to a UI terminal Along the way, you’ll learn how to apply essential software design patterns with clean, practical examples: 🧙‍♂ Singleton — C…  ( 14 min )

When building React components, it's tempting to write logic directly inside JSX. After all, JSX looks like HTML, and sprinkling some conditional rendering or small calculations inline feels natural. But as your UI grows, this approach quickly leads to cluttered components that are hard to read, reuse, and maintain. There's a better way: Move UI logic into custom hooks. UI logic refers to any behavior that controls how something is displayed or interacted with in the UI. This includes things like: Conditional rendering (show/hide elements based on state) Derived state (e.g., isSelected = currentId === item.id) Event handling logic Accessibility behaviors (e.g., focus management) Animation triggers and states These are not business rules or API calls — they're decisions that shape the UI ex…  ( 8 min )

Alright, backend explorers! We've made GET endpoints to read data and basic POST endpoints to create simple stuff. But what if we want to create something complex, like a full "Book" object with a title, author, and perhaps more? And how do we save it permanently to a database like MongoDB? Today, we're going to explicitly dissect a powerful FastAPI endpoint that does exactly that. It introduces some vital concepts: Pydantic models (for smart data handling) and interacting with a MongoDB database. Here's the endpoint we're going to break down, line by line: # main.py (continued) # ... app = FastAPI() (from previous sessions) ... # These imports are crucial for our new endpoint! from app.model.book import BookCreate from app.config.database import get_db @app.post("/books/") async def cre…  ( 10 min )

I wasn’t planning to write a dedicated post about NAT — because in most situations, it’s simply not needed. But when I was learning WireGuard myself, I ran into a flood of tutorials that used NAT without explaining why. Instead of helping, they often created confusion. After reviewing many of these setups, I realized NAT was being applied unnecessarily — sometimes even interfering with how WireGuard is supposed to work. The most critical concept to understand is AllowedIPs. This single setting controls both routing and access in WireGuard. For outgoing traffic: the destination IP must match an entry in AllowedIPs. For incoming traffic: the source IP must match an entry in AllowedIPs. Because of this, AllowedIPs must be carefully mirrored on both peers. Whether you like this design or not, …  ( 6 min )

Every time you visit a secure website — like https://google.com — your browser quietly checks whether the site’s certificate was issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). One of the most widely used CA systems in the world is Let’s Encrypt, which has issued over 3 billion certificates and powers a massive portion of the internet. Let’s Encrypt and other industry leaders like DigiCert and GlobalSign use a two-tier certificate hierarchy — a Root CA and one or more Intermediate CAs. In this post, we’re going to build that exact system — a minimal, fully working CA setup with the same two-tier hierarchy: A Root CA (self-signed) An Intermediate CA (signed by the root) It’s a real, functional CA you can use to issue certificates — just like the big players do.

:::message TEI（Text Encoding Initiative）XMLを編集する際、要素や属性の構造検証だけでなく、より複雑なビジネスルールの検証が必要になることがあります。本記事では、RELAX NG（RNG）とSchematronを組み合わせて、構造検証と内容検証の両方を実現する方法を、実際のプロジェクトで直面した課題を例に解説します。 日本の古典文学テキストをTEI XMLで校訂する際、以下のような要求がありました： ID参照の動的検証: corresp属性で参照するIDが、実際に文書内のwitness要素に存在することを検証したい Oxygen XML Editorでの補完機能: 編集時にIDの候補を自動表示したい 複数ID参照のサポート: スペース区切りで複数のIDを指定可能にしたい 特定要素のみ参照を許可: witness要素のIDのみを参照可能とし、person要素のIDが含まれる場合はエラーにしたい 要素・属性の構造定義 データ型の指定 基本的な内容モデルの定義 XPathベースの複雑な検証ルール 文書内の相互参照チェック カスタムエラーメッセージの提供 この2つを組み合わせることで、構造と内容の両面から厳密な検証が可能になります。 <grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0" xmlns:a="http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0" xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron" datatypeLibrary="http://www.w…  ( 6 min )

I love colors so I can't help but be obsessed with oklch() color function in CSS. Admittedly, oklch can look daunting at first if you're used to more common color notations such as hex code (#f4f4f1) or rgb. But now that oklch() is part of the Baseline 2023 CSS features (which means that it works across the latest devices and browser versions but might not work in older devices or browsers) we would probably start seeing it used more frequently. Tailwind is defining their color palettes with oklch(). As an example, the pink palette is defined like this: --color-pink-50: oklch(0.971 0.014 343.198); --color-pink-100: oklch(0.948 0.028 342.258); --color-pink-200: oklch(0.899 0.061 343.231); --color-pink-300: oklch(0.823 0.12 346.018); --color-pink-400: oklch(0.718 0.202 349.761); --color-pink-500: oklch(0.656 0.241 354.308); --color-pink-600: oklch(0.592 0.249 0.584); --color-pink-700: oklch(0.525 0.223 3.958); --color-pink-800: oklch(0.459 0.187 3.815); --color-pink-900: oklch(0.408 0.153 2.432); --color-pink-950: oklch(0.284 0.109 3.907);  ( 5 min )

Working with arrays of arrays—often referred to as "nested arrays" or "2D arrays"—is a common requirement in JavaScript when dealing with matrices, grids, or tabular data. However, the way we initialize these structures can introduce subtle bugs if we’re not careful! In this post, we’ll walk through the right and wrong ways to create arrays of arrays in JavaScript, explain why certain pitfalls occur, and show you best practices for robust code. Suppose we want to create a simple nested array with two empty arrays: const arr = [[], []]; This works perfectly if you know the number of inner arrays in advance. Each sub-array is independent, and you can safely push data into one without affecting the other. What if you don’t know ahead of time how many inner arrays you need? For example, suppo…  ( 7 min )
